The value of x shown in the triangle ABC is determined as 25.

How to calculate the value of x?

The value of x is calculated by applying the following formula as shown below;

sum of opposite interior angles is equal to the exterior angle.

Based on the above principle, we will have the following equation.

3x + 50 = 5x

3x - 5x = - 50

- 2x = - 50

divide both sides of the equation by "-2", to obtain the value of x;

-2x / - 2 = - 50 / - 2

x = 25

Thus, the value of x shown in the triangle ABC is determined as 25.
