SOLVE FOR X?
![**Solve for x.**
This diagram shows a complex geometric figure with several intersecting lines. The angles marked on the figure are 130 degrees, 80 degrees, and 70 degrees. The angle marked with a variable is represented by 'x'.
### Diagram Explanation:
- The angle on the top left, outside the central quadrilateral, is 130 degrees.
- Within the quadrilateral, the angle at the bottom left is 80 degrees.
- The angle at the bottom right, adjacent to angle 'x', is 70 degrees.
- Angle 'x' is formed by the intersection of the lower lines on the right side of the quadrilateral.
### Problem-Solving Steps:
- Use the properties of linear pairs and angles around a point to determine the measure of angle 'x'.
- Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees.
By solving this, the relationship between these angles can be used to find the unknown angle 'x'.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1e449208-cf4f-4e53-8cac-e5c4c8cafa96%2F8cbd66d5-48a8-4758-bcd8-198afae0080c%2F4e733et_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
