Question

Angles S and T are vertical angles. If angle S has a measure of ( x − 2 ) ∘, and angle T has a measure of 40 ∘, what is the value of x

Answer 1

The answer is 42

Explanation: To get your answer, you need to add like terms, but there is only one x value, so you need to add the numbers (like terms) and you'll have your answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 42
