Answer:

x=4 (Vertical angles have to be equal to each other! If one side is 46 then the side vertical to it is 46!) **Plug number in for x to verify once again!**

Explanation:

You need to understand vertical angles!!

Vertical Angles must be congruent and equal to each other!

You need to do:

10x+6=46

Subtract 6 from both sides

10x=40

Do 40 divided by 10

x=4

To verify: plug 4 for x which should be 40 added to 6 is 46!

Because these two are vertical angles meaning if they are across from each other they are equal!! So therefore you can equal them to each other!!!Hope this helped!!!
