Math Problem Statement

Find x

Find x

Solution

To solve for xx in the given image, we need to analyze the angles around point OO.

Observations from the Image:

  1. There are five rays extending from point OO, labeled AA, BB, CC, DD, and EE.
  2. The angles between these rays are labeled as xx, 2x2x, 3x3x, and 4x4x.

Approach:

The angles around a point add up to 360360^\circ. So, we can set up the following equation:

x+2x+3x+4x=360x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360^\circ

Solve for xx:

Combine the terms on the left side:

10x=36010x = 360^\circ

Now, divide both sides by 10:

x=36x = 36^\circ

Conclusion:

The value of xx is 3636^\circ.
