Given:
Two lines intersect each other.
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are congruent and their measures are equal.
In the given figure, the measures of two vertically opposite angles are (2x+29)° and (9x-13)°.
[tex]2x+29=9x-13[/tex]
[tex]2x-9x=-29-13[/tex]
[tex]-7x=-42[/tex]
Divide both sides by -7.
[tex]x=\dfrac{-42}{-7}[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
