Step1: Find the non - 150° angle
The angle adjacent to 150° is supplementary to it. Let this angle be \(y\). So \(y = 180 - 150=30^{\circ}\) (Supplementary angles sum to 180°).
Step2: Use triangle - angle sum property
In the triangle formed by the angles \(y = 30^{\circ}\), \(40^{\circ}\) and \(x\), the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. So \(x+30 + 40=180\).
Step3: Solve for \(x\)
\(x=180-(30 + 40)=110\) is wrong. Let's use another way.
We know that the exterior - angle property of a triangle. The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non - adjacent interior angles.
The 150° angle is an exterior angle of the triangle with interior angles \(40^{\circ}\) and \(x\). So \(150=40 + x\).
Step4: Rearrange to find \(x\)
\(x=150 - 40=110\) is wrong.
We should use the fact that the sum of angles around a point of intersection of lines and the angle - sum property of a triangle.
The correct way:
The angle adjacent to 150° is \(180 - 150=30^{\circ}\).
In the triangle formed by angles \(30^{\circ}\), \(40^{\circ}\) and \(x\), we know that \(x=180-(30 + 40)=110\) is wrong.
