To solve for x, we can set the measures of the vertical angles equal to each other:
M<1 = M<2
106° = (3x-75)°
Now we can solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation:
106° + 75° = 3x
181° = 3x
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
181°/3 = x
x = 60.33
There is a pair of vertical angers, whose measures are M<1= 106° and <2=(3x-75)°
What equation can you write to solve for X?

No idiot
Its vertical angle
Its either 180° or 90°
Its vertical angle
Its either 180° or 90°
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are right, the measures of vertical angles are always equal. Therefore, the equation to solve for x can be written as:
106° = (3x - 75)°
To solve for x, we can manipulate the equation as follows:
3x - 75 = 106
Add 75 to both sides:
3x = 106 + 75
3x = 181
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 181/3
x = 60.33
106° = (3x - 75)°
To solve for x, we can manipulate the equation as follows:
3x - 75 = 106
Add 75 to both sides:
3x = 106 + 75
3x = 181
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 181/3
x = 60.33
