#### Solution

Let us draw the following figure, showing POQ as a straight line.

Thus, ∠POR and ∠QORform a linear pair, therefore their sum must be supplementary. That is;

∠POR + ∠QOR = 180°

It is given that

∠POR = 3x

and ∠QOR = 2x + 10°

On substituting these two values above, we get:

3x +2x + 10° = 180°

5x +10° = 180°

5x = 180° -10°

5x = 170°

x = (170°)/5

x = 34°
