Question

Solve x for this diagram

Answer 1

x = 20°

Explanation:

From the picture we know that x + 2x + x + 10 = 90°

x + 2x + x + 10 = 90

4x = 80

x = 80 : 4

x = 20°

--------------------

check

20 + 2 x 20 + 20 + 10 = 90

90 = 90

the answer is good

Answer 2

x = 20

Explanation:

the 3 unknown angles form a right angle and sum to 90° , that is

x + 2x + x + 10 = 90

4x + 10 = 90 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 20
