Answer:

x=22

Explanation:

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

6x-10=5x+12

Now, solve for x. First, move all the variables to one side of the equation, and all the numbers to the other.

Subtract 5x from both sides

6x-5x-10=5x-5x+12

x-10=12

Add 10 to both sides

x-10+10=12+10

x=22
