Question 876635: Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each labeled angle.
http://i.imgur.com/B9qbuAj.png
I have no idea how to do this... there were two other problems like this, but with different shapes, and I figured out those, but I cannot for the life of me figure out this one. Even knowing the angle addition postulate and that all three angles of a triangle add up to 180, I try and try to solve for this and every time I end up getting an answer that's way off. I combine like terms, get rid of the negative/positive numbers and still I get the wrong answer every time. Can someone please help me? Thank you!

The two angles are the same.
3x-10=x%2B40
2x=50
x=25
Now go back and plug in the value for x and find the value of the angle.
