Answer:

x=16

Explanation:

Since both angles are vertically opposite, there fore they equal each other.

2x + 16 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 3x + 16 = 3x - 3x

-x + 16 = 0

-x = 0-16

-x = -16 (Multiply both sides by -1)

x = 16

---------

3x 16 = 48

2*16 + 16 = 48

Answer:

16

Explanation:

Opposite angles are non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. Opposite angles are congruent (equal in measure).

3x = 2x + 16

x = 16

----------------

check

3 * 16 = 2 * 16 + 16

48 = 48

the answer is good
