Question

solve for the value of a. answer attempt 1 out of 2 a =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

The two angles $(6a - 1)^{\circ}$ and $67^{\circ}$ are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal.
So, $6a-1 = 67$.

Step2: Solve the equation for a

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:
$6a-1 + 1=67 + 1$, which simplifies to $6a=68$.
Then divide both sides by 6: $a=\frac{68}{6}=\frac{34}{3}$.

Answer:

$a = \frac{34}{3}$
