Answer:
∠LNM = 38°
∠M = 52°
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, ∠M = x
Let the measure of ∠LNM = ∠1
Now, ∠PNM + ∠1 = 180° (LINEAR PAIRS)
So, ∠1 = 180° - ∠PNM = 180° - 142°
= 38°
⇒∠1 = 38° , or ∠LNM = 38°
Now, in triangle LMN, by ANGLE SUM PROPERTY of a triangle
∠NLM + ∠X + ∠1 = 180°
or, 90° + x + 38° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° - 128° = 52°
Hence, the measure of x = 52° , or ∠M = 52°
When you are checking your answers, your formula should read out as 9(2.222) - 8 = 12, which is simply filing in the x value that you calculated (it comes out to 11.998 which is correct). You wrote it out as 9(2.22) - 8 = -6, which is why your checking process was incorrect
