The lines p and q intersect at point O. What is the value of x?
X =

2x + 13 = 3x - 3
Subtract 13 to both sides:
2x = 3x - 16
Then it it will look like this, and you should divide them both by -1 to eliminate the negative on x
-x = -16
-1 -1
and the answer will be 16
Answer:
The value of x is 16 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Definition of vertically opposite angles
Two lines crosses angles opposite to each other are called vertically opposite angle .
Thus
(2x + 13)° = (3x-3)°
(Vertically opposite angles )
2x + 13 = 3x-3
2x - 3x = -3-13
-x = -16
x = 16
Therefore the value of x is 16 .
