Solving Vertical Angles Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve for the variable X in two different algebraic expressions. It begins by discussing the concept of vertical angles formed by intersecting lines and how these angles are equal. The first example involves solving an equation by isolating X and verifying the solution through substitution. The second example introduces a problem involving division, follows similar steps to solve for X, and verifies the solution. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the properties of angles and algebraic manipulation to find the value of X.
