Step-by-step explanation:
Statement Reason
∠5 and ∠7 are vertical angles Vertical angles theorem
m∠5 = m∠7 Definition of vertical angles
m∠5 = -2(3x - 4), m∠7 = 3(x - 3) - 1 Given
-2(3x - 4) = 3(x - 3) - 1 Substitution property of equality
-6x + 8 = 3x - 9 - 1 Distributive property
3x + 6x = 8 + 10 Addition property
9x = 18 Addition property
x = 18/9 Division property
x = 2 Proved
