Question

Angle A and B are vertical angles. If A = 5x + 5 and B = 4x + 29, find the value of x

Answer 1

X=25

Explanation:

5x+5=4x+29

-5 -4x

1x=25

Answer 2

x = 24

Explanation:

Step 1 - get 'x' by itself

5x + 5 = 4x + 29

-4x -5 -4x -5

Step 2 - solve

x = 24

Check

5(24)+5 = 125

4(24)+29 = 125
