Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

Comment

If you follow the angles down, you discover 2 things

There are only 2 answers

One is the supplement of the other.

In this case, both angles can be shown to be the same. The process is accomplished by two vertically opposite angles and 2 supplements. I can't show you how this is done because there are no letters on the lines.

It turns out that 3x + 10 = 4x - 10

Solution

3x + 10 = 4x - 10 Add 10 to both sides

3x + 10 + 10 = 4x - 10 + 10 Combine

3x + 20 = 4x Subtract 3x from both sides.

3x-3x + 20 = 4x-3x Combine

20 = x
