What can you tell me about the angles? Are they congruent

TETSXPREME:

132 (5x + 7)

AZ:

I think you're missing something in between

AZ:

remember vertical angles are equal to each other

TETSXPREME:

No thats everything it says

AZ:

|dw:1614274180894:dw| when we have angles that are opposite each other, it's called vertical angles and they're equal to each other so a = b and c = d

AZ:

so for your question, 132 is equal to 5x + 7 can you solve for x now?

Extrinix:

oh god im learning something like this in cp geo... it scares me uvu

TETSXPREME:

What is the X for tho ?

TETSXPREME:

Thats like the confusing part

AZ:

weren't you the one who asked me that same question yesterday

AZ:

yes, yes you were

Extrinix:

x represents a variable, one of the answer choices goes in place for x and that gets you the degree 132

TETSXPREME:

Yea Lmao

AZ:

so in mathematics, we use letters like a, b, or x or y They're called variables. Basically when we don't know the actual number, we use a letter and then we try to solve it to find out what that number is supposed to be

AZ:

Does that make more sense?

TETSXPREME:

Yea a little more

Extrinix:

AZ is big brain uvu

AZ:

so now we have 132 = 5x + 7 what is 132 - 7 =

TETSXPREME:

125

AZ:

so now we have 132 = 5 * x what is x equal to just divide by 5

TETSXPREME:

65?

AZ:

oops I forgot to use 125

AZ:

we did 132 - 7 and got 125 so it becomes 125 = 5x what is 125/5 =

TETSXPREME:

25

AZ:

and that's your answer

TETSXPREME:

tysm could you help me with a few more?

AZ:

Just remember, when two lines cross each other like this |dw:1614274642343:dw| then the angles opposite each other are equal
