Answer: x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and CD are straight lines, vertical angles formed by them are congruent. Angle DOB is equal to angle AOC which is equal to 2x. Since you know that a straight angle is equal to 180 degrees, you can say :

2x + 90 + x = 180

3x + 90 = 180

3x = 90

x=30

Hope this helped :)
