For two vertical angles with measures m∠2=(5x+23)° and m∠4=(3x+35)°, what is the measure of each angle?(1 point)

To find the measure of each angle, set the two measures equal to each other and solve for x:

(5x+23)° = (3x+35)°

Simplify the equation:

2x+23 = 35

Subtract 23 from both sides:

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 6

Substitute x=6 back into either equation to find the measure of each angle:

m∠2 = (5(6)+23)° = 53°

m∠4 = (3(6)+35)° = 53°

Therefore, each angle has a measure of 53 degrees. Answer: 53°.
