Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees. Therefore we can set up an equation like this:

$40 + (x + 20) + x = 180$

Now, all we have to do is solve:

$Combine:\\60 + 2x = 180\\Minus:\\2x = 120\\Divide:\\x = 60$

Therefore, x is equal to 60.

We can check this by plugging x into the angles and adding all of them up :

40 + (60 + 20) + 60 = 180

40 + 80 + 60 = 180

120 + 60 = 180

180 = 180

I hope this helps!!
