Notice how the drawing has one angle that is not labeled. This angle and angle "x" are vertical angles. So this means that the unlabeled angle is also "x". So in the drawing write in this angle.


Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, this means that the sum of these angles is 360. So we have the equation







Combine like terms on the left side


Subtract 260 from both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x



Divide
