3x°−75°+106°=180°
3 x minus 75 plus 106 degrees equals 180 degrees

3x°−75°−106°=180°
3 x minus 75 minus 106 degrees equals 180 degrees

3x°−75°=106°
3 x minus 75 equals 106 degrees

3x°−75°+106°=90°
3 x minus 75 plus 106 degrees equals 90 degrees

The relationship between vertical angles is that they are equal to each other. Given that \( m∠1 = 106° \) and \( m∠2 = (3x - 75)° \), you can set up the equation:

\[ 106° = (3x - 75)° \]

To solve for \( x \), you can rearrange this equation. However, none of the provided responses directly match this equation.

The correct equation to solve for \( x \) using the measures of the vertical angles would be:

\[ 3x - 75 = 106 \]

That can also be expressed as:

\[ 3x - 75° = 106° \]

So, the closest match from the options you've provided is:

3x°−75°=106°

This is the equation you can use to solve for \( x \).
