I've got it! But I don't want to ruin anyone's fun so I'll just PM slippy the answer. I will tell you, looking up "angle" on wikipedia, combined with my TI-86's functions helped me solve it in less than twenty minutes, after half an hour of realizing that you can't do it using algebra...
EDIT: The answer is, in fact, a whole number.

AAAAAAAAAAAK you psoted while I did. great idea! don't give anyone the answer. I got it after a longer time because I thought an angle was obtuse instead of acute.

Well, the top angle of the triangle on the bottom there HAS to be 160 because 180 - 20 = 160, and the combined angles of the top of the whole triangle HAS to be 130, because 180 - 50 - 130... all the other angles are somewhat variable.

Yeah, any |Real number between 0 and 130 will fit in the x spot.
EDIT - Didn't notice there was a second page. /failure

nope  BTW, if you give a solution, can you please say how you got it? Cus the only way it looks to me like your getting these answers is by guessing and checking (which I said doesn't work for some reason) |
