(10x+7) (7x+3)

The next one has vertical angles and will have the same measure; The answer will be 75 for each, but I"m not sure why I am not getting it.
(3x + 45) (7x + 5)
I really appreciate your assistance.

(10x+7) (7x+3)
If they add to 180, then
(10x+7) + (7x+3) = 180
17x + 10 = 180
17x = 170
x = 10
etc.

I don't know what a "vertical angle" is. Angles are measured between 2 lines. Vertical is a direction.
