There are two vertical angles in a figure with measures  m∠1=(2x−16)° and m∠2=98° . What equation will solve for x ?(2 points)

x°−°=

1 answer

Since angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles, they are equal. This means we can set up the following equation:

\[ m∠1 = m∠2 \]

Substituting the given measures:

\[ (2x - 16) = 98 \]

Now, to solve for \(x\), we can write the equation as:

\[ 2x - 16 = 98 \]

So we can rearrange this for the answer:

\[ 2x - 16 = 98 \]

Thus, the equation to solve for \(x\) is:

\[ 2x - 16 = 98 \]
