Answer:

40

Explanation:

Because these angles are the same, we can make an equation, 5x-5=3x+13.

2x - 18 = 2 • (x - 9)

Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : x-9 = 0

Add 9 to both sides of the equation :

x = 9

Replace x with 9 in this equation, 3(9) + 13

27+13

=40
