Answer: x = 40
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
3x + x + 20 = 180 <em>same side (consecutive) interior angles</em>
4x + 20 = 180
4x = 160
x = 40

Answer: x = 24
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
6x - 24 + 2x + 12 = 180 <em>linear pair (supplementary angles)</em>
8x - 12 = 180
8x = 192
x = 24

Answer: x = 16
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
2(2x + 15) + 6x - 10 = 180 <em>triangle sum theorem</em>
4x + 30 + 6x - 10 = 180
10x + 20 = 180
10x = 160
x = 16
****************************************************************************
Let ∠1 and ∠2 represent the exterior angles in the diagram and "x" represent the same side (consecutive) interior angle with ∠1.
Then m∠1 + x = 180 <em>same side interior angle theorem</em>
and m∠2 + x = 180 <em>linear pairs are supplementary </em>
m∠1 + x = m∠2 + x <em>transitive property</em>
m∠1 = m∠2 <em>subtraction property of equality</em>
∠1 ≈ ∠2 <em>definition of congruency</em>
