Let angles A and B be the vertical angles
Statement Reason
- ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles Given
- ∠A=2x+6 Given
- ∠B=96° Given
- ∠A ≅ ∠B Definition of Vertical Angles
- m∠A = m∠B Definition of Congruence
- 2x+6 = 96 Substitution
- 2x=90 Subtraction property of equality
- x=45 Division property of equality

Note, also, that the problem speaks of VERTICAL (sp!) angles.
