Geometry Difficulty 2.2 Junior Find the answer Canada

In the diagram, $\angle PQR$
is a straight angle.

The value of $x$ is

Pick one

Solution

Since $\angle PQR$ is a
straight angle, its measure is $180\degree$ . Thus, the angles with
measures $130\degree$ and $x\degree$ add to $180\degree$ , or $130+x=180$ and so $x=180-130=50$ .
