Answer:

The value of r is 14.

Explanation:

Vertical angles are the angles formed when two lines intersect each other. The opposite angles formed by these lines are called vertically opposite angles.


(7r+6)^(\circ)=(8r-8)^(\circ)\\7r-8r=-8-6\\-r=-14\\r=14

Answer:

r = 14

Explanation:

1. Because the two angles are a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines, they're vertical angles/congruent.

2. To find the value of r, we can write an equation of:
7r + 6 = 8r - 8

3. (Solving)


  • 7r + 6= 8r - 8

  • 7r + 6 - 8r = 8r - 8 - 8r

  • -r + 6 = -8

  • -r + 6 - 6 = -8-6

  • -r = -14

  • (-r)/(-1) = (-14)/(-1)

  • r = 14

Therefore, r = 14.
