Since they're vertical angles, they're equal in degree measure
since they're equal, we can make the two expressions equal to each other
5a - 1 = 2a + 20
add 1 to both sides
5a = 2a + 21
subtract 2a from both sides
3a = 21
divide both sides by 3a
a = 7
now, plug the answer you found for a into one of the two expressions
5a - 1 becomes (5*7) - 1, which equals 34
to double check that they're equivalent (since they're vertical angles)
2a + 20 becomes (2*7) + 20, which equals 34
both angles are 34 degrees!
Answer:
When 6x - 4 = 8, x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 4 = 8
Add 4 to both sides.
6x = 12
Divide both sides by 6.
x = 2
Proof:
6x - 4 = 8
Substitute variable.
6(2) - 4 = 8
Multiply 6 and 2.
12 - 4 = 8
Subtract 4 from 12.
8 = 8
