Answers:

x = 7

angle NML = 24 degrees

=========================================================

Work Shown:

OML is the largest angle

OMN and NML are the two pieces that make up that largest angle.

They add like so

OMN + NML = OML

(9x) + (3x+3) = 10x+17

12x+3 = 10x+17

12x-10x = 17-3

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

You have the correct x value.

Now use this to find each angle

angle OMN = 9x = 9*7 = 63

angle NML = 3x+3 = 3*7+3 = 24

angle OML = 10x+17 = 10*7+17 = 87

As a check,

OMN+NML = 63+24 = 87

which matches with the measure of angle OML.

This confirms OMN+NML = OML to be true and it confirms our answers.
