2) angles are vertical so they are congruent- 7x-27= 4x+12 --> subtract 4x from both sides so 3x-27=12 --> add 12 to both sides so 3x=39 (divide both sides by 3) so then x= 13
3) again, vertical angles so 8x-120= 4x+16 --> subtract 4x so that 4x-120=16 --> add 120 to both sides and then 4x=136, divide both by 4 and x= 34
hope this helps:))
