To find the measure of each angle, we need to set the measures of both angles equal to each other:
m∠2 = m∠4
5x + 23 = 3x + 35
Subtract 3x from both sides:
2x + 23 = 35
Subtract 23 from both sides:
2x = 12
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6
Now, substitute the value of x back into either angle to find its measure:
m∠2 = 5(6) + 23 = 53°
Therefore, the measure of each angle is 53 degrees.
For two vertical angles with measures m∠2=(5x+23)° and m∠4=(3x+35)° , what is the measure of each angle?(1 point) Responses 6°6 degrees 29°29 degrees 53° 53 degrees 15.3°
