Help me solve the problem it 2 problems they all in together

x = 10

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

53 and 5x + 3 are vertical angles.

vertical angles are equal.

using that, you can make this equation:

53 = 5x + 3

subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

53 - 3 = 5x + 3 - 3

50 = 5x

divide both sides of the equation by 5

50/5 = 5x/5

10 = x

82 and 3x + 1 are vertical angles.

vertical angles are equal.

using that, you can make this equation:

82 = 3x + 1

subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

82 - 1 = 3x

81 = 3x

divide both sides of the equation by 3

81/3 = 3x/3

27 = x

Cross multiply only when you need to determine if one fraction is greater than another, or if you are trying to find a missing numerator or denominator in equivalent fractions.
