Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
∠1 and ∠2 are vertical angles.
∠1 = ∠2
<u>Part A:</u>
<u></u>
Create an equation and solve for x.
20x + 21 = 30x - 29
Add 29 and -20x on both sides.
20x + 21 + 29 - 20x = 30x - 29 + 29 - 20x
Simplify the equation.
50 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10.
=
Simplify the equation.
5 = x
Switch sides.
x = 5
<u>Part B:</u>
<u></u>
Let x = 5
20(5) + 21
Distribute.
100 + 21
Add.
= 121
Since both angles are vertical angles, they are equal.
∠1 = 121°
∠2 = 121°
