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:

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
