In the given quadrilateral, it is given that, two angles have measurements

And two have measurement

And sum of measurement of angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degree, that is

SO for the given quadrilateral, the value of x is 26 .

Answer:

x = 30

Explanation:

You want the value of x given that adjacent angles in a parallelogram are (3x+30)° and (2x)°.

Supplementary angles

Adjacent angles in a parallelogram total 180°, so ...

(3x +30)° +2x° = 180°

5x +30 = 180 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, simplify

x +6 = 36 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

x = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

The value of x is 30.

Additional comment

The angles are (3·30 +30)° = 120°, and 2·30° = 60°.
