1 answer:
Since they're vertical angles, they're equal in degree measure
since they're equal, we can make the two expressions equal to each other
5a - 1 = 2a + 20
add 1 to both sides
5a = 2a + 21
subtract 2a from both sides
3a = 21
divide both sides by 3a
a = 7
now, plug the answer you found for a into one of the two expressions
5a - 1 becomes (5*7) - 1, which equals 34
to double check that they're equivalent (since they're vertical angles)
2a + 20 becomes (2*7) + 20, which equals 34
both angles are 34 degrees!

Answer:
x= - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
- - 8(x +7) = 16
- -8x - 56 = 16
- -8x = 16 + 56
- -8x = 72
- x = 72 ÷ (-8)
- x = -9
