Answer:

x = 24

Explanation:

Ok so basically the angles shown are vertical angles

One of the properties of vertical angles is that they are congruent

That being said we would use this equation to solve for x

120 = 5x

then you would solve for x

*isolate the variable*

step 1 divide each side by 5

120/5=24

5x/5=x

we're left with x = 24

I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask! :)
