3X-3=2X+13

3X-2X=13+3

Okay, Given that these are vertical angles with each other, we can set them equal to each other. This means our equation to find out what x is, is

3x-3=2x+13

We now need to move like terms to each other. We can do this by adding 3 to both sides of the equation to cancel our the -3.

Our equation will now look like:
3x=2x+16

Now we will move the 2x over to the opposite side to get the 16 alone. We will need to subtract 2x from both sides.
This will leave us with

x=16. This means that we can now plug 16 in for the x value.

This means that angle

3(16)-3= 45
and
2(16)+13= 45.

This means that the measurement of each angle will be 45 degrees.
