Question

(a) write an equation to find x. make sure you use an \=\ sign in your answer. equation: (b) solve for x. x=

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical - angle property

Vertical angles are equal. So, \(13x - 34=83\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Add 34 to both sides: \(13x=83 + 34\), so \(13x=117\). Then divide both sides by 13: \(x=\frac{117}{13}\), and \(x = 9\).

Answer:

(a) Equation: \(13x-34 = 83\)
(b) \(x=9\)
