There are two vertical angles in a figure with measures m<1 = (2x - 16) ° and mL2 = 98°.

Question

will solve for x? (2 points)

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can use the property of vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent, meaning they have the same measure.

In this case, we have two vertical angles: m<1 = (2x - 16)° and m<2 = 98°. Since vertical angles are congruent, we can set up the equation:

(2x - 16)° = 98°

Now we can solve for x:

2x - 16 = 98

Add 16 to both sides:

2x = 114

Divide by 2:

x = 57

Therefore, x = 57
