Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Looking at the figure, we can say that it is a vertical angle.

5x - 7 = 23

5x - 7 + 7 = 23 + 7

5x = 30

5x / 5 = 30 / 5

x = 6

Since it is a vertical angle, the other side should be 23⁰. You can also plug in the x value to find if it gives you 23⁰ or not.

5x - 7

5(6) - 7

30 - 7

23

Therefore, x = 6. Hope this helps and stay safe, happy, and healthy, thank you :) !!
