We will assume that the question is referring to the angles of a triangle. The vertices are 2x, 40, and 60.

Then, we have that the internal angles of a triangle sum up to 180 (degrees). Then, we have:


2x+40+60=180

Then, we have that subtracting 100 to both sides of the equation:


2x+100=180\Rightarrow2x+100-100=180-100\Rightarrow2x=180-100

Dividing by 2 to both sides of the equation:


(2x)/(2)=(80)/(2)\Rightarrow x=40

Therefore, we have:


2\cdot40+40+60=180

Therefore, the value for x is equal to 40 (x = 40).
