Question

solve for x.
80°
(x + 25)°
x = type your answer...

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

The two angles \(80^{\circ}\) and \((x + 25)^{\circ}\) are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal.
So we set up the equation \(x+25 = 80\).

Step2: Solve the equation for x

Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation \(x+25=80\).
We get \(x=80 - 25\).

Answer:

55
