Question

Find the value of x in the figure

Answer 1

It is 85.

Explanation:

The angles are vertical from each other so they are equal. 85+5=90.

Answer 2

x=85

Explanation:

The angles are vertical angles, therefore they are congruent. This means we can set them equal to each other.

x+5=90

Solve for x by isolating x. To do this, subtract 5 from both sides

x+5-5=90-5

x=85

So, x=85, and the second choice is correct.
