Answer:

n = 15

Explanation:

A straight line equals 180 degrees

Angle SWT is congruent to angle XWV meaning:

SWT (55 degrees) = XWV (55 degrees)

Set up an equation:

3n + 80 + 55 = 180

Combine like terms

3n + 135 = 180

Subtract both sides by 135 to isolate variable n

3n = 45

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate variable n

n = 15
