Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since < A and < B are vertical angles, then it means that they have the same measure.

Given that m < A = (3x - 21)°, and m < B = (2x - 13)°:

We can set up the following equation to solve for the value of x:

m < A  = m < B

(3x - 21)° = (2x - 13)°

3x - 21 = 2x - 13

Subtract 2x from both sides:

3x - 2x - 21 = 2x - 2x - 13

x - 21 = -13

Add 21 to both sides to isolate and solve for the value of x:

x - 21 + 21 = -13 + 21

x = 8

We must verify if we have the correct value for x by plugging in 8 into the equality statement:

(3x - 21)° = (2x - 13)°

[3(8) - 21]° = [2(8) - 13]°

(24 - 21)° = (16 - 13)°

3° = 3° (True statement. This means that we have the correct value for x).

Therefore, the value of x = 8.
