Answer:

x = 16

Explanation:

*A triangle's interior angles always add up to 180 degrees*

1. The square on the left-hand side means 90 degrees

2. To find the degrees on the 150 degrees side we need to subtract 180 from 150 as the line it's on equals 180 degrees

180 -151 = 29

3. Now we know 3 out of the two angles, so if we add them up and subtract them from 180 degrees we will have the 3rd angle

29 +90 = 119

180 - 119 = 61

4. Now we can put that in with the equation

4x + 3 = 61

5. Solve

4x - 3 = 61

+ 3 +3

4x = 64

/4 /4

x = 16
