Question

I'm suppose to solve for x ? but I don't know what x is

Answer 1

Given that we have vertical angles, we can express the following.

`8x+36=5x+60`

It is important to know that vertical angles are equal. Let's solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} 8x-5x=60-36 \\ 3x=24 \\ x=(24)/(3) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

Hence, x is equal to 8.
