Question

It says to find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

the third angle forms a straight angle with 100°, hence

third angle in triangle = 180° - 100° = 80°

Summing the 3 angles gives

2x + 3 + 80 + 51 = 180

2x + 134 = 180 ( subtract 134 from both sides )

2x = 46 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 23
