Question

Suppose that angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles find the measures given the following conditions measure one equals 2x + 40 and measure 2 equals 8x -32

Answer 1

Vertical angles are equal

2x + 40 = 8x - 32
40 + 32 = 8x - 2x
72 = 6x
72/6 = x
12 = x

2(12) + 40 = 24 + 40 = 64
8(12) - 32 = 96 - 32 = 64

so angle 1 is 64 and angle 2 is 64
