Question

Solve for x for this triangle (geometry)

Answer 1

`x=60^(\circ)`

Explanation:

The are 180 degrees in a triangle and 180 degrees on a line. Therefore, call the third angle of the triangle
`y`.

The following equation solves for
`y`:

`y+119=180,\\y=61^(\circ)`

Solving for
`x`:

`x+59+61=180,\\x=\boxed{60^(\circ)}`
