Question 946286: How do i solve vertical angles with the equation 2x+50 and 4x+12 Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, MathTherapy:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Vertical is a direction, not an angle.
----
2x+50 is not an equation, there's no equal sign.
Same for 4x + 12
Vertical or vertically opposite angles are congruent
Since one is: 2x + 50 and the other is: 4x + 12, then we can say that:
2x + 50 = 4x + 12
2x - 4x = 12 - 50
- 2x = - 38
x = , or 19
You now substitute 19 for x in any of the 2 expressions to determine the angle.
