We want to find the value of x. Let's take a look at the given diagram. We can see that the labeled angles are vertical angles.

We know that vertical angles are congruent. This means that their measures are equal. From the given diagram, we know that the measure of one angle is given by the expression 2x+4 and the measure of the other angle is 100. 2x + 4 = 100 Let's solve this equation for x using the Properties of Equality.
2x + 4 = 100
2x = 96
2x/2 = 96/2
x = 48
We found that x=48.
