How do I solve for X?

`\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}`

Angles
`\bf{60^\circ}` and
`\bf{2x+20}` are vertical angles. They are congruent, or equal.

Thus,

`\bf{2x+20=60}` | subtract 20

`\bf{2x=40}` | divide the equation by 2

`\bf{x=20}`

`\cline{1-2}`

`\bf{Result:}`

`\bf{=x=20}`

`\LARGE\boxed{\bf{aesthetic \\ot1\theta l}}`

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

To find x, note that:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Therefore,

(2x + 20)° = 60°

Removing bracket.

2x + 20 = 60

collecting like term.

2x = 60 - 20

2x = 40

dividing bothsides by 2

2x/2 = 40/2

x = 20
