Answer:

x = 12.5

Explanation:

The value of x is part of the value of an angle in a triangle where the other angles are known. This suggests that the relevant theorem is the "angle sum theorem," which tells you the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

This gives you the equation ...

60° +60° +(4x+10°) = 180° . . . . total of all angles is 180°

4x +130° = 180° . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

4x = 50° . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 130° from both sides

x = 12.5° . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 4
