If Lines AC and ED intersect at point B, then ∠ABD and ∠EBC are vertically opposite angles
The point where two lines meet is known as an angle.
If line Lines AC and ED intersect at point B, then ∠ABD and ∠EBC will be vertically opposite to each other (They will be equal).
To show that the are equal
Given the angles
m∠ABD = 5x - 5
m∠EBC = 3x + 15
m∠ABD = m∠EBC (vertical angles)
5x - 5 = 3x + 15
5x - 3x = 15 + 5
2x = 20
x = 10
Substitute x = 10 into m∠ABD and m∠EBC
m∠ABD = 5x - 5
m∠ABD = 5(10)-5
m∠ABD = 50 - 5
m∠ABD = 45
Get m∠EBC
m∠EBC = 3x+15
m∠EBC = 3(10)+15
m∠EBC = 30+15
m∠EBC = 45 degrees
We can see that both angles are equal. Hence we can also conclude that they are vertically opposite angles
