Question

(Please answer, put the step by step explaining so I can understand)

In the figure below, angle y and angle x form vertical angles. Angle y forms a straight line with the 60° angle and the 70° angle.


Write and solve an equation to determine the measure of angle x.

Answer 1

50°

Explanation:

angles in a straight line add upto 180°

therefore y+60°+70°=180°, y=50°

and since angle y and angle x form vertical angles they are equal thus x=50°
