<h3><u>Answer</u> :</h3>

It is clear from the diagram that,

ㄥ6 + ㄥ8 = 180

⇒ (2x - 5) + (x + 5) = 180

⇒ (2x + x) + (5 - 5) = 180

⇒ 3x + 0 = 180

⇒ x = 180/3

⇒ x = 60°

◈ From the geometry of figure,

ㄥ3 = ㄥ6

⇒ ㄥ6 = (2x - 5)

⇒ ㄥ6 = (2×60 - 5)

⇒ ㄥ6 = 120 - 5

⇒ <u>ㄥ6 = 115°</u>

As I understood your typing <span>3 1/4 means $3 \frac{1}{4}$ So,

</span> $3 \frac{1}{4} -2 \frac{2}{4} = \frac{13}{4} - \frac{10}{4}= \frac{3}{4}$
