Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle on a straight line = 180°

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

x + 40° + x - 20° = 180°

2x + 20° = 180°

2x = 180° - 20°

2x = 160°

x = 160°/2

x = 80°

Check:

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

(80° + 40°) + (80° - 20°) = 180°

120° + 60° = 180°

180° = 180°
