Question

The lines p and q intersect at point O. What is the value of x?
X =

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above, I think the angles are equal to each other.

2x + 13 = 3x - 3

Subtract 13 to both sides:

2x = 3x - 16

Then it it will look like this, and you should divide them both by -1 to eliminate the negative on x

-x = -16

-1 -1

and the answer will be 16

Answer 2

The value of x is 16 .

Explanation:

Definition of vertically opposite angles

Two lines crosses angles opposite to each other are called vertically opposite angle .

Thus

(2x + 13)° = (3x-3)°

(Vertically opposite angles )

2x + 13 = 3x-3

2x - 3x = -3-13

-x = -16

x = 16

Therefore the value of x is 16 .
