Answer:

20

Explanation:

2 + 3x = 62

3x + 2 = 62 (reordered the problem for my convenience, it really doesn't matter)

3x + 2 - 2 = 62 - 2 (subtract 2 from both sides)

3x = 60 (simplify)

3x/3 = 60/3 (divide both sides by 3)

x = 20

This is assuming the problem is asking for x, since the other angle would inherently be 62° because they are vertical angles.
