We learned in Vertical angles 1 that vertical angles are equal. Watch this video to understand why.

Set the angle measures equal to one another.

\blue{Ax + B^\circ} = \green{Cx + D^\circ}

Subtract \pink{Cx} from both sides.

(Ax + B^\circ) \pink{- Cx} = (Cx + D^\circ) \pink{- Cx}

A - Cx + B^\circ = D^\circ

Subtract \pink{abs(B)}^\circ from both sides.

Add \pink{abs(B)}^\circ to both sides.

(A - Cx + B^\circ) \pink{+ -B^\circ} = D \pink{+ -B^\circ}

A - Cx = D - B^\circ

Divide both sides by \pink{A - C}.

\dfrac{A - Cx}{\pink{A - C}} = \dfrac{D - B^\circ}{\pink{A - C}}

Simplify.

x = SOLUTION^\circ

Subtract \pink{Ax} from both sides.

(Ax + B^\circ) \pink{- Ax} = (Cx + D^\circ) \pink{- Ax}

B^\circ = C - Ax + D^\circ

Subtract \pink{abs(D)^\circ} from both sides.

Add \pink{abs(D)^\circ} to both sides.

B^\circ \pink{+ -D^\circ} = (C - Ax + D^\circ) \pink{+ -D^\circ}

B - D^\circ = C - Ax

Divide both sides by \pink{C - A}.

\dfrac{B - D^\circ}{\pink{C - A}} = \dfrac{C - Ax}{\pink{C - A}}

Simplify.

SOLUTION^\circ = x
