Answer:

X=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the two angles added up is 90 degrees, since it’s a right angle (we know it’s a right angle because of the red square in the corner). You know that <1 is 60, so <2 has to be 30 because the two angles have to add up to 90 degrees. Since <2 is 3x, you have to find a number times 3 that equals 30.

x=10.

To check the answer, 10 * 3 is 30 and 30+60=90 (the total measure of a right angle), so it’s correct.
