Answer 1

Hi!

We can see the river is a straight line.

This means that the angles that fall upon it are supplementary angles, and will add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore:

`x+2x+21=180`

Combine like terms:

`3x+21=180`

Subtract 21 from both sides:

`3x=159`

Divide both sides by 3:

`x=53`

Therefore, the value of x is 53 degrees.
