Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find the value of x x such that the angles of the quadrilateral add up to 360 360^\circ . The angles provided are:

  • x x^\circ
  • (x+5) (x + 5)^\circ
  • (2x25) (2x - 25)^\circ
  • (x+10) (x + 10)^\circ

2. Relevant Concepts

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is given by: Sum of angles=360 \text{Sum of angles} = 360^\circ

3. Analysis and Detail

Let's set up the equation based on the angles: x+(x+5)+(2x25)+(x+10)=360 x + (x + 5) + (2x - 25) + (x + 10) = 360

Now we simplify the equation: x+x+5+2x25+x+10=360 x + x + 5 + 2x - 25 + x + 10 = 360 Combining like terms: 5x10=360 5x - 10 = 360

Next, we solve for x x :

  1. Add 10 to both sides: 5x=370 5x = 370
  2. Divide by 5: x=74 x = 74

4. Verify and Summarize

To verify, we substitute x=74 x = 74 back into the expressions for the angles:

  • x=74 x = 74^\circ
  • x+5=79 x + 5 = 79^\circ
  • 2x25=2(74)25=14825=123 2x - 25 = 2(74) - 25 = 148 - 25 = 123^\circ
  • x+10=84 x + 10 = 84^\circ

Calculating the total: 74+79+123+84=360 74 + 79 + 123 + 84 = 360 This confirms that our calculations are correct.

Final Answer

The value of x x is 74 74 .
