SOLUTION: Hi there! I was wondering if I have two lines that are perpendicular and it makes an x and the top angle says (y+x)degrees the right angle says (y-x) degrees and the left says 2x d

Question 700130: Hi there! I was wondering if I have two lines that are perpendicular and it makes an x and the top angle says (y+x)degrees the right angle says (y-x) degrees and the left says 2x degrees how would I solve to find each variable? Also just incase this makes a difference 2x and y+x are supplementary(add up to 180) and y+x and y-x are supplementary angles! Thanks for your help:)

---------------
Equation:
2x + (y+x) = 180 degrees
(y+x)+(y-x) = 180 degrees
---------------------------
3x + y = 180
2y = 180
------
y = 90
------
Solve for "x":
3x + 90 = 180
3x = 90
x = 30 degrees.
