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

$\bf{x=20}$

$\cline{1-2}$

$\bf{Result:}$

$\bf{=x=20}$

Answer:

20

Explanation:

To find x, note that:

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
