The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( x \) in the given quadrilateral angles \( (x + 20) \), \( (x - 20) \), \( (2x + 5) \), and \( (2x - 5) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equation for the sum of angles in a quadrilateral. The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is always equal to \( 360^\circ \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ (x + 20) + (x - 20) + (2x + 5) + (2x - 5) = 360 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation. Now, we will combine like terms: \[ x + 20 + x - 20 + 2x + 5 + 2x - 5 = 360 \] The \( +20 \) and \( -20 \) cancel each other out, as do \( +5 \) and \( -5 \): \[ x + x + 2x + 2x = 360 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x = 360 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \). To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by \( 6 \): \[ x = \frac{360}{6} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 60 \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( x \) is \( 60 \). ---
