Question

What the equation is what x equals and the angle mesures

Answer 1

ANSWER

x = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation

Recall, vertical angles are equal

`\begin{gathered} (2x\text{ + 10)}\degree\text{ = 70}\degree \\ 2x\text{ + 10}\degree\text{ 70}\degree \\ \text{subtract 10 from both sdides} \\ 2x\text{ + 10 - 10 = 70 - 10} \\ 2x\text{ = 60} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ (2x)/(2)\text{ = }(60)/(2) \\ x\text{ = 30 degr}ees \end{gathered}`

Hence, x = 30 degrees
