Notice how the drawing has one angle that is not labeled. This angle and angle \"x\" are vertical angles. So this means that the unlabeled angle is also \"x\". So in the drawing write in this angle.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, this means that the sum of these angles is 360. So we have the equation\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B260=360\" Combine like terms on the left side\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=360-260\"Subtract 260 from both sides\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=100\" Combine like terms on the right side\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28100%29%2F%282%29\" Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x\r
