Answer: 65

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 15 = 145

2x + 15 - 15 = 145 - 15

2x = 130

2x/2 = 130/2

x = 65

Answer: x = 65

==============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a pair of vertical angles. The angles do not need to align vertically to be considered vertical angles. They simply just need to be opposite one another in this X configuration as the diagram shows.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Set the expressions equal to one another. Solve for x.

2x+15 = 145

2x = 145-15 ... subtracting 15 from both sides

2x = 130

x = 130/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

x = 65
