Question

Write a two-columm proof

Answer 1

Both angles 2x+6 and 96 shown are vertically opposite angles and vertically opposite angles are always equal

so 2x+6 should be equal to 96

so 2x + 6 = 96

Now we have to solve for x here and have to get x by itself on left hand side

So first get rid of +6 by doing its opposite -6 on both sides

2x + 6 -6 = 96 -6

2x = 90

Now to get x by itself we have to get rid of 2, for that divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{90}{2}$

x = 45

Hence proved that x = 45
