x = 4

First, we can see that the top angle is 130°, that means the other side of the angle is 50° because that straight line must equal 180°.

Next, we know that the inside of a triangle must equal 180°. We know that one of the angle’s is 50°, that means we need to plug in the numbers and solve the other angles until the total of all three angles is 180°.

If we plug in 4 for x, this is what we get…
14(4) + 6 = 62°
16(4) + 4 = 68°

Now we know all three angles, but we can add to check…
50° + 62° + 68° = 180°

Therefore, x = 4!

The 3 inside angles should add up to 180. The one next to the 130 is 50 degrees.

180 = 50 + (16x + 4) + (14x + 6)

180 = 30x + 60

120 = 30x

x = 4
