Answer:

X = 2 or X = 3

Explanation:

Substitute the given values in the given equation and solve the quadratic.

angle 1 = angle 2 + angle 3

2x^2 +6 = (x^2 +x) +(4x)

2x ^2 +6 = x^2 +5x . . . . . . . . collect terms

x^2 -5x +6 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x^2 +5x

(x -2)(x -3) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . factor

x may be either 2 or 3.

Additional comment

Solutions to a factored quadratic are the values of x that make the factors zero.
