Oh i got it!  
You would end up having 260+3x+10=540
and in the end my answer is x=90

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I think you're missing a few terms when you got 260+3x+10=540

anonymous · Answer

I am not sure how, i combined 148 and 112 and got 260.  How would you solve it?  Did you come up with another answer?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you missed the 90 degree angle (the square marked angle)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

also, don't leave out the 3x+10 and x degree angles
