To solve for \( x \) using the information about vertical angles, we can set the measures of the angles equal to each other since vertical angles are congruent. So we have:
\[ m∠1 = m∠2 \]
Given:
- \( m∠1 = (2x - 16)^\circ \)
- \( m∠2 = 98^\circ \)
Set up the equation:
\[ 2x - 16 = 98 \]
Now, we need to put this in the format you requested:
x°−°=___
So we can rewrite it as:
\[ 2x - 16 = 98 \]
Thus, the final answer will be:
2x°−16°=98
