Question

I’m struggling. Sorry. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

x = 20

Explanation:

The 2 angles are vertical and congruent, thus

10x - 27 = 8x + 13 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x - 27 = 13 ( add 27 to both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 20

Answer 2

(8x+13)=(10x-27) being vertically opposite triangles.

Now take the 8 to the next side and minus it by 10x which means 10x-8x, the answer is 2x

Then, do with 27 and 13 also and whatever the answer comes it will be divided by 2, so that is the value of x
