Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect, and two angles that are on opposite sides of both lines.
The angles on the west side and the east side form two vertically opposite angles (commonly called vertical angles, but much less descriptive).
It is because the west angle is to the left of both lines, and the east angle is to the right of both lines.
Vertically opposite angles (vertical angles) are congruent. Therefore we can form the equation
110 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5 to get
110/5=22 = 5x/5 = x
or
x=22 degrees.

Answer:
There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.
Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92
Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.
Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
