Solve for x in the diagram below.
120°
3x
0
2=

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles are opposite each other. Therefore, they are vertical angles. This means the 2 angles are equal. So, we can set them equal to each other.

120=3x

We want to find out what n is. In order to do this, we have to get n by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

x is being multiplied by 3. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 3.

120/3=3x/3

120/3=x

40=x

x is equal to 40.
