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:
x = 3, x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve these factored equations, just divide each part by zero and solve.
2x(x-3) = 0 → (x-3) = 0, and 2x = 0.
(x-3) = 0 → x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3 → <u>x = 3.</u>
2x = 0 → 2x/2 = 0/2 → <u>x = 0.</u>
