Question

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

2x°+68°=180°

2 x plus 68 degrees equals 180 degrees

2x°=68°

2 x equals 68 degrees

x°=68°

x equals 68 degrees

68x°=2°

Answer 1

Since vertical angles are equal, let each angle be x°. Their sum is 2x = 68, so the correct equation is

2x° = 68°.

Solving gives x = 34°, so each angle measures 34°.
