Answer

$x=40$ $\angle(1)=130^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Since $\angle(1)$ and $\angle(3)$ are equal, you can make an equation with their values as so: $3x+10=4x-30$ You can solve this to find the value for x: $3x+10=4x-30$ $(10+30)=(4x-3x)$ $40=x$ Now you can plug this value in to find the actual value of $\angle(1)$: $\angle(1)=(3x+10)^{\circ}$ $\angle(1)=(3(40)+10)^{\circ}$ $\angle(1)=(120+10)^{\circ}$ $\angle(1)=130^{\circ}$
