There is a pair of vertical angles whose measures are m<1 = 106 and m<2 = (3x - 75). What equation can you write to solve for x?

1 answer

Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect. They are opposite each other and have equal measures.

In this case, we have vertical angles with measures m<1 = 106 and m<2 = (3x - 75).

To find an equation to solve for x, we can set the measures of the vertical angles equal to each other:

106 = 3x - 75

Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of x.
