Q. ∠1 and ∠2 are vertical angles. If m∠1=(7x−14)∘ and m∠2=(4x+25)∘, then find the value of x.Answer:
Set Angle Expressions Equal: Vertical angles are congruent, which means they have equal measures. Therefore, we can set the expressions for m/∠1 and m/∠2 equal to each other to find the value of x.(7x−14)=(4x+25)
Subtract 4x: Subtract 4x from both sides to start isolating the variable x on one side of the equation.7x−14−4x=4x+25−4xThis simplifies to:3x−14=25
Add 14: Add 14 to both sides to further isolate x.3x−14+14=25+14This simplifies to:3x=39
Divide by 3: Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.33x=339This simplifies to:x=13
