There are two vertical angles in a figure with measures  m∠1=(2x−16)° and m∠2=98° . What equation will solve for x ?(2 points)

____x°−___°=____

1 answer

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
