The data is a little bit complex,but you can use the knowledge of vector in the subject of algebra,or you can ultimate the basic Euclidean knowledge,like cosine theorem.In detail,you can list two equation with two variable,and get the answer.but i don't finish calculating it.
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!
All you need to do it combine like terms.
3x + 9 + 4x + x
(3x + 4x + x) + 9
8x + 9
i hope this was helpful for you!
