Question

ZA and B are vertical angles. If m A = (5x + 6) and m B = (6.2 – 25)°, then find the value of x.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 25.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles:

If two angles are vertical, they have the same measure.

In this question:

Angle A has measure 5x + 6

Angle B has measure 6.2x - 25

Since they are vertical:

$A = B$

$5x + 6 = 6.2x - 25$

$1.2x = 31$

$x = \frac{31}{1.2}$

$x = 25.83$

The value of x is 25.83.
