Two angles are vertical angles one measures (2x+6)° and the other measures 80° find the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do vertical angles have to do with each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oppsit to each other when two lines cross. They are always equal. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

create an equasion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so one angle = 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the other = 2x + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and vertical angles are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so make an equasion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need more help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle A = 2x + 6 angle B = 80 A = B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what substitution is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if A = B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and B = 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than A = 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what substitution is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now substitute for A in A = 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still dont get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = B = 80 take the B part off and you get A = 80. See what I said right after you said "No".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should have at least learned how to substitute if you were given that problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here's the equation: 2x + 6 = 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sure you can solve from there
