Problem 10
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- x = 11
- angle UTS = 65
- angle AUT = 123
-----------------------
Explanation:
The remote interior angles UTS and TSU add to the exterior angle AUT. This is because of the remote interior angle theorem. The interior angles you add cannot be adjacent to the exterior angle.
(angle UTS) + (angle TSU) = angle AUT
(5x+10) + (58) = 11x+2
5x+10+58 = 11x+2
5x+68 = 11x+2
68-2 = 11x-5x
66 = 6x
6x = 66
x = 66/6
x = 11
Use this x value to find that...
angle UTS = 5x+10 = 5*11+10 = 65
angle AUT = 11x+2 = 11*11+2 = 123

Problem 11
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- x = 4
- angle CDB = 31
- angle WBC = 77
-----------------------
Explanation:
We'll use the same theorem as before
(angle BCD) + (angle CDB) = angle WBC
(46) + (-1+8x) = 18x+5
46-1+8x = 18x+5
8x+45 = 18x+5
45-5 = 18x-8
40 = 10x
10x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4
angle CDB = -1+8x = -1+8*4 = 31
angle WBC = 18x+5 = 18*4+5 = 77
