Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
m<1 = (4x + 2)
m<3 = (5x - 15)
To find the value of x, we need to generate an equation.
<1 and <3 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore:
m<1 = m<3
(4x + 2) = (5x - 15)
Use this equation to solve for x
4x + 2 = 5x - 15
Subtract 5x from both sides
4x + 2 - 5x = 5x - 15 - 5x
-x + 2 = -15
Subtract 2 from both sides
-x + 2 - 2 = -15 - 2
-x = -17
Divide both sides by -1
x = 17
