You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the vertically opposite angles when 2 lines intersect are equal
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=7x-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "add-7x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x-7x=7x-7x-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x=-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x%2F-2=%28-12%29%2F-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "If x= 6 , 5x= 30
\n" ); document.write( "to check
\n" ); document.write( "7x-12=7*6-12
\n" ); document.write( "=30
\n" ); document.write( "The angles are 30 deg.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
