# Explanation:
## Step1: Set up equation
Vertical - angles are equal. So, $2x + 2=5x - 3$.
## Step2: Rearrange terms
Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $2 = 5x-2x - 3$, which simplifies to $2 = 3x - 3$.
## Step3: Isolate $x$
Add 3 to both sides: $2 + 3=3x$, so $5 = 3x$. Then divide both sides by 3: $x=\frac{5}{3}$. This is incorrect. Let's assume they are supplementary angles. So, $(2x + 2)+(5x - 3)=180$.
## Step4: Combine like - terms
$2x+5x+2 - 3 = 180$, which gives $7x-1 = 180$.
## Step5: Solve for $x$
Add 1 to both sides: $7x=180 + 1=181$, then $x=\frac{181}{7}$. This is also incorrect. Let's assume the correct relationship is that the angles are vertical - angles and the correct equation is $2x+2 = 5x - 3$.
Rearrange: $2+3=5x - 2x$.
$3x=5$, $x = 5$ is wrong. The correct equation for vertical angles $2x + 2=5x-3$ gives $3x = 5$ (wrong). The correct one for supplementary angles $(2x + 2)+(5x-3)=180$ gives $7x-1=180$, $7x=181$ (wrong).
The correct equation for vertical angles:
## Step1: Set up vertical - angle equation
Since vertical angles are equal, $2x + 2=5x-3$.
## Step2: Move $x$ terms to one side
Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $2=5x - 2x-3$.
$2 = 3x-3$.
## Step3: Isolate the term with $x$
Add 3 to both sides: $2 + 3=3x$, so $5 = 3x$.
## Step4: Solve for $x$
$x = 5$ (wrong).
The correct steps for vertical - angle equation $2x+2 = 5x - 3$:
Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $2=3x - 3$.
Add 3 to both sides: $5 = 3x$.
$x=\frac{5}{3}$ (wrong).
The correct equation for vertical angles:
$2x+2=5x - 3$
$3x=5$ (wrong).
The correct:
## Step1: Use vertical - angle property
$2x + 2=5x-3$ (vertical angles are equal).
