Answer:

The value of x is 25.83.

Explanation:

Vertical angles:

If two angles are vertical, they have the same measure.

In this question:

Angle A has measure 5x + 6

Angle B has measure 6.2x - 25

Since they are vertical:


A = B


5x + 6 = 6.2x - 25


1.2x = 31


x = (31)/(1.2)


x = 25.83

The value of x is 25.83.
