There are two vertical angles in a figure where m∠

1 = 2x - 24°
and the m∠
2 = 86°
.

Which equation will solve for x?

2x - 24 + 86 = 180
2x - 24 + 86 = 180

2x - 24 = 86
2x - 24 = 86

2x - 86 = 24
2x - 86 = 24

To solve for \( x \) where \( m∠1 \) and \( m∠2 \) are vertical angles, we set them equal to each other because vertical angles are equal in measure.

Given:

  • \( m∠1 = 2x - 24° \)
  • \( m∠2 = 86° \)

So, the equation we can set up is:

\[ 2x - 24 = 86 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

2x - 24 = 86
