Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

∠B = 180 - 110

= 70 degrees

Since all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 we can solve for x like this:

180 = (3x + 30) + (x+20) + 70

Step 1 : Collect like terms

180 = 4x + 120

Step 2 : Move the terms to isolate 4x

-4x = 120 - 180

-4x = -60

Step 3 : Divide both sides by -4 which gives us:

X = 15

We can check to see if this works

3(15) + 30 = 75

15 + 30 = 35

Add all values up

75 + 35 + 70 = 180 (the sum of all angles in any triangle)

Hope this helps!
