Answer:

70

Explanation:

So we know that the angles of a triangle equal up to 180 degrees. So let's make an equation. So we can do:

2x+(3x-20)+(x+20) = 180

Simplify:

6x=180

x=30

We can also plug this in to check our work. So it would be:

60+(90-20)+(30+20)

simplify

70+50+60=180

Then we have to find angle XYZ so we do 90-20=70

Answer:

70 degrees

Explanation:

2x+3x-20+x+20=180

( angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees)

as you want to find one x you need to move everything else to the other side: first collect all the like terms: 6x=180

in order to find x you need to divide 180 by 6 which is equal to 30

therefore x=30

if you substitute this into XYZ it would be: 3(30)-20

90-20=70

therefore XYZ=70 degrees

Hope this helped
