To find the value of x, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
We know that the two adjacent angles make up a 90° angle. So, the sum of the measures of these two angles is 90°.
We can set up an equation as follows:
x + (x + 30) = 90
Simplifying, we combine like terms:
2x + 30 = 90
Next, we isolate the variable term:
2x = 90 - 30
2x = 60
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 60/2
x = 30
Therefore, x = 30°.
