Answer:
<u><em>Vertical angles are</em></u><u><em> congruent</em></u><u><em>, so the</em></u>
<u><em>equation </em></u><u><em>3x-6 = 114</em></u><u><em> can be used to find x.</em></u>
<u><em>The value of x is </em></u><u><em>40</em></u><u><em>.</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>Convince Me!</em></u>
<u><em>Why can you use an equation when solving for x in</em></u>
<u><em>the diagram?</em></u>
<u><em>You can use the eqution because they are equal to each other. When they are equal to each other, you can find x by using the equation to simplify and get x alone.</em></u>
