Math Problem Statement
In figure, POQ is a line, ∠POR = 4x and ∠QOR = 2x. Find the value of x.
Solution
The problem states that:
- is a straight line.
Since is a straight line, the sum of the angles on a straight line is . Thus, we have the equation:
Substitute the given expressions for the angles:
Simplifying:
Now, solve for :
So, the value of is .
