In a geometric figure two intersecting lines creating four angles. If ∠1 and ∠3 are a vertical pair, m∠1=(4x+26)°, and m∠3=98°, what is the value of x?(1 point) Responses 7272 9898 1414 18

1 answer

Since ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles, they must be congruent. Therefore, setting the measures of ∠1 and ∠3 equal to each other, we have:

4x + 26 = 98

Subtracting 26 from both sides:

4x = 98 - 26
4x = 72

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 72/4
x = 18

Therefore, the value of x is 18.
