Two intersecting lines create four angles; ∠1 and ∠3 are a vertical pair. Their sum of their measures is equal to 68° . What equation solves for the value of each angle?(1 point) Responses 68x°=2° 68 x equals 2 2x°=68° 2 x equals 68 degrees 2x°+68°=180° 2 x plus 68 degrees equals 180 degrees x°=68°

1 answer

To find the relationship between the angles given that ∠1 and ∠3 are a vertical pair, we can establish the following:

  1. Vertical angles are equal, so we have: \[ \angle 1 = \angle 3 \]

  2. If the sum of their measures is given as 68°, we can write: \[ \angle 1 + \angle 3 = 68° \]

Since \(\angle 1\) and \(\angle 3\) are equal, we can say: \[ 2\angle 1 = 68° \] From this, we can define \(x\) as \(\angle 1\): \[ 2x = 68° \]

Thus, the equation that solves for the value of each angle is: \[ 2x = 68° \]

So the correct response is 2x° = 68°.
