Answer:

x=20

Explanation:

Those add up to 180 degrees because a straight line is 180 degrees

Equation

2x + 70 + 3x + 10 = 180

Add liked terms

2x+3x=5x

5x+80=180

5x+80-80=180-80

Divide both sides by 5

5x=100

x=20

hope this helps and good luck! <3

Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

→ Remember how many degrees are on a straight line

180°

→ Set up an equation

2x + 70 + 3x + 10 = 180

→ Simplify

5x + 80 = 180

→ Minus 80 from both sides

5x = 100

→ Divide both sides by 5

x = 20
