Answer:

20

Step-by-step-explanation

There appears to be 2 lines intersecting eachother, and 150 degrees is on the opposite side to that of the expression. The expression 7x+10 equals a degree, since it is directly opposite to that of the 150 degrees we can use the vertical angles theorem. Although there are no congruent markings for the angles, it is safe to assume that they are congruent to each other with the information given. Vertical angles are angles opposite to each other by 2 intersecting lines. We can write the equation 7x+10=150 for finding x. Now, we solve for x. Inverse operations can be used to subtract 10 by both sides. 150-10=140, 7x=140, to move the x to the other side so that x is alone, we divide by 7 with the inverse operations. Leaving the x alone gives us to what x is, 140/7=20! x=20 Good luck and have a great time
