Question

ZA and ZB are vertical angles. If m A = (5x + 2)° and mZB = (6x – 12),
then find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are equal

5x+2 = 6x-12

Subtract 5x from each side

5x+2-5x = 6x-12-5x

2 = x-12

Add 12 to each side

2+12 = x-12+12

14 =x
