Vertical angles are congruent and congruent angles have the same measure.

The task is to solve the equation:

3x + 20 = 4x - 10  --> Solve for x.

I don't know if the problem ends when you solve for x or if you are to find the measures of the two vertical answers. Check your problem source to determine that.
