Two intersecting lines create four angles <1 and <3 are vertical pair. Their sum of their measures is equal to equal to 68 . What equation solves for the value of each angles? (1 point)

Question

A. x = 68
B. 68x = 2
C. 2x = 68
D. 2x + 68 = 180

Answer 1

The correct equation to solve for the value of each angle given that the measures of angles <1 and <3 (which are vertical angles) sum to 68 degrees is:

C. \( 2x = 68 \)

This is because if <1 and <3 are vertical angles, they are equal in measure, so we can let each angle be represented by \( x \). Therefore, the equation is:

\[ x + x = 68 \] \[ 2x = 68 \]
