Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect. They are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.

Given that angle A is 72 and angle B is 3x + 6, we can write the equation:

72 = 3x + 6

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. First, let's subtract 6 from both sides:

72 - 6 = 3x + 6 - 6
66 = 3x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3:

66/3 = 3x/3
22 = x

Therefore, x is equal to 22.
