x+(2x-30)= 180 (as L1 and L2 are parallel and all the corresponding angles are equal)
3x-30=180 ==> 3(x-10)= 180 ==> x-10= 60 ==> x=70

Let y be the angle show in the attached picture.

We have $$y = 180 - (2x-30) = 210-2x$$

Since L1 is parallel to L2 we get

$$x = y$$

$$x = 210-2x$$

$$3x = 210$$

$$x = 70$$
