Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

Vertical angles, also called opposite angles sometimes, are angles that across from each other.

They are congruent meaning they have equal measurement

We can write the following equation based on these information to find the value of x :

2x + 2 = 32 subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 32 divide both sides by 2

x = 15
