Question

HELP!! Look at the diagram. Write an equation and solve for X. Explain work

Answer 1

These lines are vertical so the equation you would use is 68=6x-4. To solve that you add 4 to both sides so the new equation would be 72=6x, then you divide each number by 6, therefore x would be 12! Hope I was helpful

Answer 2

Answer: x = 12

Reason

When two lines cross to form an X shape, the opposite angles are known as vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

6x-4 = 68

6x = 68+4

6x = 72

x = 72/6

x = 12
