Answer:

x = 40

Explanation:

since line KN bisects that angle, the two parts are equal to each other:

(x+30) = (3x-50)

x + 30 = 3x - 50

-2x = -80

x = 40

you can even check it to see if both angles are equal to each other by substituting 40 for x:

(40 + 30) = (3*40 - 50)

70 = 70

this checks out, so the answer is correct

Answer:

x=40

Explanation:

If the large angle is bisected, the two smaller angles are equal

x+30 = 3x-50

Subtract x from each side

x+30 -x = 3x-50-x

30 = 2x-50

Add 50 to each side

30+50 = 2x-50+50

80 =2x

Divide by 2

80/2 = 2x/2

40 =x
