1. The problem states that two angles are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.
2. Given:
- $m \angle 1 = 50^\circ$
- $m \angle 2 = (4x + 10)^\circ$
3. The formula for supplementary angles is:
$$m \angle 1 + m \angle 2 = 180$$
4. Substitute the given values:
$$50 + (4x + 10) = 180$$
5. Simplify the equation:
$$50 + 4x + 10 = 180$$
$$4x + 60 = 180$$
6. Subtract 60 from both sides:
$$4x + \cancel{60} - \cancel{60} = 180 - 60$$
$$4x = 120$$
7. Divide both sides by 4:
$$\frac{4x}{\cancel{4}} = \frac{120}{\cancel{4}}$$
$$x = 30$$
8. Therefore, the value of $x$ is 30.
Final answer: $x = 30$ (Option A)
