156 and (14y+30) are opposite angles so they are the same. You can use this information to put them into an equation to solve;
14y+30 = 156
You want you the the y's alone, so you subtract 30 from each side.
14y = 126
Then divide each side by 14 to get what just 1 y is.
y = 9
Then to find what the other pair of opposite angle add up to subtract 156x2 from 360
156x2 = 312 360-312 = 48
Halve 48 to get the sum of just one of the opposite angles
48/2 = 24
Now you know that 3x = 24. Solve this equation
x = 8
Since point M is the midpoint of LN, LM and MN are equivalent in length.
7x - 12 = 3x + 16 (LM=MN)
7x = 3x + 28
4x = 28
x = 7
Now that we know the value of x, we can find the value of LM by plugging the value in the equation.
LM = 7(7) - 12
LM = 49 - 12
LM = 37
180 > 2(26) + 2h
<span>180 > 52 + 2h </span>
<span>128 > 2h </span>
<span>64 > h </span>
<span>height must be less than 64 inches</span>
This problem would equal 80
