Answer:
25 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
In the picture attached, the lines and the angles are shown. There we can see that:
85° + 2x° + (x-10)° = 180°
75 + 3x = 180
x = (180 - 75)/3
x = 35°
∠3 and ∠(x-10)° are alternate interior angles, therefore they are congruent, so:
∠3 = x - 10
∠3 = 35 - 10
∠3 = 25°
