Question

Use the figure below. Solve for x

Answer 1

Should be 60 degrees

The x is present 3 times (2 times in 2x and once in x) so all of that has to equal 180

If you divide 180 by 3 you get 60 and to check you can plug it in
x=60 2x=120 60+120=180

Answer 2

x = 60 degrees

Explanation:

we know x+(2x)=180

so, then we get 3x=180

x = 180/3

x = 60
