Answer:

Angles: adjacent

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent Angles: angles that border each other to the left/right

Vertical Angles: opposite set of angles that are congruent

Given these definitions, these angles are not only adjacent, but also right angles. Right angles add to 90°.

  • Thus, 3x + 2x = 90

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • [tex]3x + 2x = 90[/tex]
  • [tex]5x = 90[/tex]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

  • 5x ÷ 5 = 90 ÷ 5
  • x = 18

Therefore, the answer is adjacent and x = 18.
