Given $\angle POR = 3x$ and $\angle QOR = 2x + 10^o$, find the value of $x$ for which $POQ$ will be a line."


Given:

$\angle POR = 3x$ and $\angle QOR = 2x + 10^o$.

To do:

We have to find the value of $x$ for which $POQ$ will be a line.

Solution:

We know that,

Sum of the angles on a straight line is $180^o$.

Therefore, for $POQ$ to be a line,

$\angle QOR + \angle POR = 180^o$

$(2x+10) + 3x = 180^o$

$5x+10^o = 180^o$

$5x=180^o-10^o$

$x= \frac{170^o}{5}$

$x = 34^o$

The value of $x$ for which $POQ$ will be a line is $34^o$.
