Since ∠UOW and ∠XOV are vertical angles, their measures are equal. Given that:
- m∠XOV = 47°
- m∠UOW = (2x + 35)°
We can set these two angles equal to each other:
\[
(2x + 35)° = 47°
\]
Thus, the correct equation to solve for \(x\) is:
C. \((2x + 35)° = 47°\)
- m∠XOV = 47°
- m∠UOW = (2x + 35)°
We can set these two angles equal to each other:
\[
(2x + 35)° = 47°
\]
Thus, the correct equation to solve for \(x\) is:
C. \((2x + 35)° = 47°\)
