Question

What is the value of X in the following parallelogram?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides and the opposite angles are equal and parallel.

Also, the consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary. This means that the sum of the consecutive angles is 180 degrees.

Angle (2x - 10) and angle (2x + 50) are consecutive angles. Therefore,

2x - 10 + 2x + 50 = 180

2x + 2x - 10 + 50 = 180

4x + 40 = 180

4x = 180 - 40 = 140

x = 140/4

x = 35
