Answer:
The value of x is 30°
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the outer angle of the parallelogram is 60 degrees. Therefore it's respective inner angle will be 180 - 60 = 120 degrees. And, by properties of a parallelogram, the angle opposite to this angle will be 120 degrees as well.
If we draw extend the line creating angle 2x, then we will make ( 1 ) a vertical angle to 2x, ( 2 ) a 90 degree angle, and ( 3 ) and angle that we can let be y. Therefore, 2x + y = 90, and 3x + y = 120.
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x+y=90\\ 3x+y=120\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}6x+3y=270\\ 6x+2y=240\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,
[tex]6x+2y=240\\-\\\underline{6x+3y=270}\\y=30[/tex],
[tex]2x + (30) = 90,\\2x = 60,\\x = 30[/tex]
Solution : x = 30°
