Answer:
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
Step-by-step explanation:
`From the given picture,
Angle SOP and angle SOR are the linear pairs.
Therefore, sum of these angles will be equal to to 180°.
m∠SOP + m∠SOR = 180° -----(1)
Since, m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° and m∠SOR = (5x + 14)°
[There is a misprint in this question. There should be x in place of y in the measures of the angles]
By substituting these values in the equation (1),
(7x - 2) + (5x + 14) = 180
12x + 12 = 180
12x = 180 - 12
12x = 168
x =
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
