The sum of the angle measures is 180 degrees:

%282x%29%2B%28x%2B10%29%2B%282x-30%29+=+180
5x-20+=+180

Solve for x using basic algebra

In response, I got this message from you 
    Comment from student: it’s hard to explain it without a picture.


My response to this message is in 3 positions: 

    1.  Then make your own picture.

        It is so elementary, that there is NOTHING to discuss here . . . .



    2.  Do not take such a STUPID position.



    3.  If you can not make a picture on your own, it means that EITHER you are in wrong class 

        OR occupy wrong position in this project.


Please do not post your problem again and do not demonstrate such an unrestricted stupidity.

Have a nice day . . .
