Explanation:

Hey there! Hope I can help!

If the angle measures 120, then the angle vertical to it also equals 120.

Triangles always add up to 180 total degrees, so 180-120=60


This means the two angles combined equal 60.
so…
(2x+3)+(3x+2)=60

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

5x+5=60

SUBTRACT 5 BOTH SIDES

5x=55

DIVIDE BY 5 ON BOTH SIDES

x=11


now plug x in

2x+3 ——> 2(11) +3 which equals 25


THE ANSWER IS 25 for ANGLE A and
