Problem 35
Vertical Angles. When two lines intersect, four angles are formed. Angles that are side-by-side, such as \(\angle 1\) (angle 1 ) and \(\angle 2,\) are called adjacent angles. Angles that are nonadjacent, such as \(\angle 1\) and \(\angle 3\) or \(\angle 2\) and \(\angle 4,\) are called vertical angles. From geometry, we know that if two lines intersect, vertical angles have the same measure. If \(\angle 1=3 x+10^{\circ}\) and \(\angle 3=5 x-10^{\circ},\) find \(x\)
