Question

Calculate the value of x

Answer 1

x = 44

Explanation:

All the angles on a point add up to 360°. Thus:

2x + 3x + 140 = 360

You can merge the x together and simplify the equation.

5x + 140 = 360

Isolate the 5x.

5x = 360 - 140

= 220

Now we can find x.

x = 220 ÷ 5

= 44

Answer 2

Explanation:

5x = 360-140

5x= 220

x= 220/5

x= 44°
