OpenStudy (anonymous):

We call them opposite angles.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\angle 6 = \angle 7\) \(4x = 2x+34\) solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But she is right. Set those equal to each other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And solve for x.
