Question

Two vertical angles are expressed as (1/2)x+12 and (3/4)x+8. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since vertical angles are equal, we can set these two expressions equal to each other to solve for x:

(1/2)x + 12 = (3/4)x + 8

12 = 0.25x + 8

4 = 0.25x

16 = x
