Question

SOLVE FOR X:

The triangles corners say 100 Degrees 40 degrees 2x degrees



(2 points)

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Given that the triangle has angles of 100 degrees, 40 degrees, and 2x degrees, we can write the equation:

100 + 40 + 2x = 180

Combining like terms, we have:

140 + 2x = 180

Subtracting 140 from both sides, we get:

2x = 40

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 20

Therefore, the value of x is 20 degrees.
