Question

Can someone help me

Answer 1

m < 1 = 130°

m < 1 = 130°m < 2 = 50°

We know this is a linear pair, therefore the two angles must add up to 180°

`(m < 1 )+ (m < 2 )= 180`

`5x + x + 24 = 180`

Combine like terms

`6x + 24 = 180`

Isolate the variable

`6x = 156`

`x = 26`

Plug in 26 for x in both of the individual angle equations.

`m < 1 = 5x`

`= 5(26)`

`= 130`

`m < 2 = x - 24`

`= (26) + 24`

`= 50`

A good way to check if we did this correctly, is to add up the two angles. Because 180 + 50 = 180, we did this correctly.

I hope this helped. Let me know if you have any questions!
