Answer 1

Answer:

Angle A = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent ( equal to each other )

If angle A and angle B are vertical angles and vertical angles are congruent then angle A = angle B

If angle A = 3x + 13 and angle B = 5x + 9 then 3x + 13 = 5x + 9

( Note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x )

We now solve for x using the equation created

3x + 13 = 5x + 9

Step 1 subtract 3x from both sides

Outcome: 13 = 2x + 9

Step 2 subtract 9 from both sides

Outcome: 4 = 2x

Step 3 divide both sides by 2

Outcome: x = 2

Now to find Angle A

All we have to do to find the measure of angle a is simply substitute 2 for x in it's given expression ( 3x + 13 )

Substitute 2 for x

Angle A = 3(2) + 13

Multiply

Angle A = 6 + 13

Add

Angle a = 19
