Adjacent angles are angles beside one another

The value of x is 11

We have:

[tex]\angle FLY = 3x + 7[/tex]

[tex]\angle SLY = 7x + 3[/tex]

[tex]\angle FLS = 120[/tex]

Since FLY and SLY are adjacent, then:

[tex]\angle SLY + \angle FLY = \angle FLS[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]7x + 3 + 3x + 7= 120[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]7x + 3x = 120 - 3 - 7[/tex]

[tex]10x = 110[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

Hence, the value of x is 11
