Question

Can someone explain on how to do it please thanks

Answer 1

x = 50

Explanation:

The 2 angles sum to 90° , that is

x + 10 + 30 = 90

x + 40 = 90 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

x = 50

Answer 2

90=30+(x+10). remove blanket

90=30+x+10. correct like terms

90=30+10+x

90=40+x. 40 will cross the = and change from +ve to -ve sign

90-40=x.

therefore

x=40
