I NEED HELP I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR HOURS I ACTUALLY HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN PLEASE HELP ME I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation

Vertical angles are always congruent which means they are equal

Since we know this we can simply set the two angle equal to each other so...

5x-5=2x+19

Now what we do is add five to 19 and subtract 2x from 5x to get

3x=24

simply divide 24 by 3 to isolate x and now we have

x=8

Hope this was helpful!

Answer 2

If both of them are vertical angles, they equal each other. 2x+19=5x-5 is how you would set it up. Add 5 to 19 to get 24 and subtract 2x from 5x to get 3x. 3x=24, so x=8. If you plug that in, your angles should be 35 degrees for each.
