Answer:

x equals 10, angle measure is 30°

Explanation:

By using the Vertical Angles Theorem which states that opposite angles formed by 2 intersecting lines are congruent we can find that the measure of the angle with 3x is equal to the measure of it's opposite angle or 30°. Using this we can make an equation that can find us our answer.

3x = 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10
