The value of x is 20.
What are vertically opposite angles?
Vertical angles are angles opposite each other where two lines cross.
What are corresponding angles?
Any pair of angles each of which is on the same side of one of two lines cut by a transversal and on the same side of the transversal are corresponding angles.
According to the given question.
We have
m ∠2 = 4x + 7
and m ∠7 = 5x - 13
From the given figure we can say that
m ∠7 = m ∠6...(i) (because they are vertically opposite angles)
and m ∠6 = m ∠2...(ii) ( corresponding angles)
From (i) and (ii)
m ∠7 = m ∠2
⇒ [tex]5x - 13 = 4x + 7[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5x - 4x = 7 +1 3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = 20[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is 20.
