Divide 55 by 2. There's your answer. AD is a perpendicular bisector making that angle COE  split in half. If that whole angle is 55 degrees then two is half of that.

I'm sorry that was wrong. 2x+x+10 =55. Solve for answer.

anonymous · Answer

3x+10=55. 3x=45. 45/3 =15.

The answer is A.

Oh, okay. I thought I was supposed to divide by two also, so I was confused that it wasn't one of the answer choices. And thank you so much!

Yep! :)
