Question

Please help, and plz don't be saying this is the right answer if u dont know for sure.

Answer 1

The blank in the equation is 1.

x = 7 and the vertical angles measure out to 64 degrees.

Explanation:

When solving for x, you always want to keep the variables on one side. So you'll subtract 9x from both sides. That gives you 1=3x-20. Then you'll add 20 to both sides. This gives you 21=3x. After you'll divide by 3 on both sides. This gives you 7=x.

Now you'll plug in 7 for x. This gives you 12*7-20=9*7+1. First, you'll multiply which gives you 84-20=63+1. Add and you'll get 64 on both sides.

Answer 2

It will be 9x + 1 = 12x + 20.

The answer you’ll put in the box is 1, because it doesn’t ask you to solve for x, just fill in the number.
