Solve for x in the diagram below.
[tex]\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}[/tex]
Notice that all 3 of those angles together make a linear pair, or a [tex]\bf{180^\circ}[/tex] angle.
This is the key to solving this problem, because the sum of these angles is 180 degrees.
[tex]\bf{2x+30+40+40=180}[/tex] | arrange the like terms
[tex]\bf{2x+30=180-40-40}[/tex] | arrange the like terms
[tex]\bf{2x+30=100}[/tex] | subtract 30
[tex]\bf{2x=70}[/tex] | divide by 2
[tex]\bf{x=35}[/tex]
[tex]\cline{1-2}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{Result:}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{=m\angle x=35^\circ}[/tex]
[tex]\LARGE\boxed{\bf{aesthetics \not1\theta l}}[/tex]
