Respuesta :

both A and B are the same

10x+24 = 6x+72

subtract 6 x from both sides

4x +24 = 72

subtract 24 from both sides:

4x = 48

divide both sides by 4
x = 48 / 4 = 12

angle a  = 10x+24 = 10(12) +24 = 120 + 24 = 148 degrees

Vertically opposite angles of A is the alternate angles of angle of B
⇒ Angle A = Angle B  

10x + 24 = 6x + 72     | Angle A = Angle B
10x - 6x = 72 -24        | subtract 6x -24 on both sides
4x = 48                       | Combine like terms
x = 12                         | Divide by 4

Angle A = 10x + 24 
Angle A = 10(12) + 24 
Angle A = 120 + 24
Angle A = 144°

Answer: Angle A = 144°
