The value of x from the given diagram is 17
<h2>Vertically opposite angles</h2>From the given diagram, m<2 and m<3 are vertically opposite since they form angles from the intersection of lines at the point X
Given that;
- m<2 = 4x + 2
- m<3 = 5x - 15
Equate both expressions to have:
m<2 = m<3
4x + 2 = 5x - 15
4x - 5x = -15 - 2
-x = -17
x = 17
Hence the value of x from the given diagram is 17.
