Line MK intersects line JL at point N. This means that: measure angle MNJ is equal to measure angle LNK as they are opposite angles.
So, 5x+2 = 3(x+14) 5x+2 = 3x + 42 5x-3x = 42-2 2x = 40 x = 20
Therefore: measure angle MNJ = 5(20)+2 = 102 degrees measure angle LNK = 3(20+14) = 102 degrees You will notice that they are both equal as stated in the beginning.
