<1 and <2 are vertical angles. If m<1 = 17x + 1 and m<2 = 20x - 14, find m<2.

As vertical angles have the same measure, set 17x + 1 = 20x - 14, solve for x and substitute that value for x into the expression for angle 2 (or angle 1 if you prefer; they both have the same measure). The result is the desired measure.
