Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Verticle angles are formed when two lines intersect. The angles opposite each other are congruent, those angles are called vertical angles.

Using this knowledge, one can say;

3x + 2= 20

Use inverse oeprations to solve for "x"

3x + 2 = 20

-2 -2

3x = 18

/3 /3

x = 6
