Question

The 2 lines that make an X have a A above the middle and between the 2 lines on the right side says (4x-5) Degrees and on the left side between the lines says (x+16) degrees. Use the properties of vertical angles to find the value of x.

Responses
A 55
B 33
C 77
D 99

Answer 1

C?

Explanation:

If I understand your description correctly...

Vertical Angles are angles on opposite sides of the X formed by intersecting lines, and are Congruent (equal in measure).

So, 4x-5 = x+16

4x-x-5+5 = x-x+16+5

3x = 21

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7
