what is the value of x?

enter your answer in the box.

(2x + 2) + (3x - 52)

54

Step-by-step explanation:

These are vertical angles, and so set the two angle measurements equal to each other (not adding).

2x + 2 = 3x - 52

Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 3x and 2 from both sides.

2x (-3x) + 2 (-2) = 3x (-3x) - 52 (-2)

2x - 3x = -52 - 2

Simplify.

-x = -54

Isolate the variable x. Divide -1 from both sides.

(-x)/-1 = (-54)/-1

x = -54/-1

x = 54

54 is your answer for x.
