• Equality Properties

Geometry

• Vertical Angles: angles that are cross from each other and congruent

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify

We notice from the picture that the 2 angles are vertical.

Step 2: Set up equation

x + 12 = 5x - 48

Step 3: Solve for x

1. Subtract x on both sides: 12 = 4x - 48
2. Add 48 to both sides: 60 = 4x
3. Divide 4 on both sides: 15 = x
4. Rewrite: x = 15
