Answer:

x=15

Explanation:

Since these angles are vertical angles, they are equivalent, so you can set up the equation like so:

12x+70=16x+10

Then simplify by first subtracting 10 from both sides:

12x+70(-10)=16x+10(-10)

12x+60=16x

Next subtract 12x from both sides:

12x(-12x)+60=16(-12x)

60=4x

After that divide both sides by 4:

60(/4)=4x(/4)

15=x

x=15

15 is your answer.

Hope this helps!
