what is x? Please explain how you got it so I can understand for future questions.

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 40}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Well angles like 142 and 2x + 22 equal each other because they are across from each other.
So we can set up the following,
142 = 3x + 22
Single out x
-22 to both sides
120 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 40
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
x=40
Step-by-step explanation:
142=3x+22
3x+22-22=142-22
3x=120
120/3=40
