Question

Please solve for x
thank you ♡​

Answer 1

The given two angles are called vertically opposite angles which are generally equal.

(Vertically opposite angles are those angles which are opposite to each other when two lines cross)

So,

`3x + 178 = 6x + 238`

`3x - 6x = 238 - 178 = 60`

`- 3x = 60`

`- x = (60)/(3) = 20`

`x = - 20`

Now, for verification,

3x+178° = 3(-20) +178° = 118°

6x+238= 6(-20)+238° =118°

Answer 2

-20 because 3x+178=6x+238
