Math Problem Statement
∠1 and angle, 2∠2 are vertical angles. If mangle, 1, equals, left parenthesis, 6, x, plus, 29, right parenthesis, degrees∠1=(6x+29) ∘ and mangle, 2, equals, left parenthesis, 7, x, plus, 25, right parenthesis, degrees∠2=(7x+25) ∘ , then find the value of x.
Solution
Since and are vertical angles, they are equal. Therefore, we can set their measures equal to each other and solve for .
Given:
Since , we can write the equation:
Now, let's solve for :
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Subtract 25 from both sides:
So, the value of is:
