In the triangle to the​ right, the measure of angle A equals the measure of angle B. Find the value of x.

x=

5 answers

Since the measure of angle A equals the measure of angle B, we can set up the following equation:

2x + 10 = x + 40

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x = 30

Therefore, the value of x is 30.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's reconsider the problem.

Since the measure of angle A equals the measure of angle B, we can set up the following equation:

2x + 10 = x

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x - x = -10
x = -10

Therefore, the value of x is -10.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem again.

If the measure of angle A equals the measure of angle B, we can set up the equation:

x + x + 10 + 40 = 180

Combining like terms:

2x + 50 = 180

Subtracting 50 from both sides:

2x = 130

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 65

Therefore, the value of x is 65.
