Answer: The correct option is (A) 25.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of x from the figure shown.
From the figure, we note that there are two parallel lines and a transversal.
Also, the angles with measurements (x + 40)° and (3x - 10)° are corresponding angles.
Since the measures of two corresponding angles are equal, so we must have
[tex](x+40)^\circ=(3x-10)^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow x+40=3x-10\\\\\Rightarrow 3x-x=40+10\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=50\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=25.[/tex]
Thus, the required value of x is 25.
Option (A) is CORRECT.
