Question

Calculate the value of x
​

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

2x+3x+150°=360°

collect like terms

2x+3x=360°-150°

5x=210°

divide both sides by 5x

therefore, x=42

Answer 2

Explanation:

angles around a point add to 360°

2x+3x+150=360°

take away 150°

2x+3x=210°

5x=210°

divide by 5

x=42°
