In geometric figure two intersecting lines creating four angles. If <1 and <3 are a vertical pair < 1 = 4x + 26 degrees and < 3 = 98 degrees what is the value of x

Answer 1

Vertical angles are always equal, so we can set up an equation:

<1 = <3

4x + 26 = 98

Subtracting 26 from both sides, we get:

4x = 72

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 18

Therefore, the value of x is 18 degrees.
