Hello there! 🙂
Vertical angles are congruent, therefore:
∠A ≅ ∠B
3x – 30 = 2x – 9
Subtract 2x from both sides:
3x – 2x – 30 = 2x – 2x – 9
x – 30 = -9
Add 30 to both sides:
x – 30 + 30 = -9 + 30
x = 21.
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are congruent, thus
∠ A = ∠ B , substitute values
3x – 30 = 2x – 9 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
x – 30 = – 9 ( add 30 to both sides )
x = 21
