<h3>
Answer: x = 61</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
The angle x and the 29 degree angle combine to form a 90 degree angle. This is because the square maker on the left has that angle at 90 degrees, and all of the angles combine to form 180. So 180-90 = 90 is the left over amount.
Add up x and 29 to get 90
x+29 = 90
Solve for x by subtracting 29 from both sides
x+29-29 = 90-29
x+0 = 61
x = 61
--------------
An alternative is to solve the equation below for x
x+29+90 = 180 ... see note below
x+119 = 180
x+119-119 = 180-119 ... subtract 119 from both sides
x = 61
we get the same answer
note: this equation turns into x+29 = 90 if you subtracted 90 from both sides
