Answer:

The value of x is 11 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given that two angles are vertical angles, we are interested in calculating the value of x. We simply want to use an important property of vertical angles to get the value of x as given in the question.

When we talk of vertical angles, they are angles which lies on opposite side to each other when we have two intersecting line.

By property, vertically opposite angles are equal.

Thus, in this case, we are to equate the angles we are having since they are both vertical angles;

Thus,

Mathematically;

angle A = angle B

3x + 3 = 4x -8

Collect like terms;

4x-3x = 3 + 8

x = 11 degrees
