Angle OPM and Angle LMK
When angles are corresponding, they're essentially on the same side. It's sort of hard to explain, so I'll attach a drawing. The one on the left with the check mark is a corresponding angle, and the one on the right with the X is a same-side angle. Essentially, corresponding angles are on the same side and are also equal, unlike same-side angles, which are supplementary angles.
Let me know if you don't understand my explanation.

Answer: 5/9 is the simplified fraction for 25/45 by using the GCD or HCF method. Thus, 5/9 is the simplified fraction for 25/45 by using the prime factorization method.
Answer: x = 123
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Here are the basic steps:
Step 1) Find the measure of angle 7 (near the 35 degree angle)
Step 2) Find angle 6 (in the center; bottom angle)
Step 3) Use angle 6 to find the value of x
-----------------
Let's go through those steps mentioned
-----------------
Step 1) Finding the measure of angle 7
We see that the 35 degree angle and angle 7 combine to form a 90 right angle. So they must add to 90 degrees
(angle 7) + 35 = 90
(angle 7) + 35 - 35 = 90 - 35
angle 7 = 55
So angle 7 is 55 degrees. We'll use it on the next step
-----------------
Step 2) Finding the measure of angle 6
We'll use the result from step 1. The triangle with angle 7, angle 6, and the 68 degree angle will be focused on here. Recall that for any triangle, the three angles must add to 180 degrees.
So,
(angle 7) + (angle 6) + 68 = 180
(55) + (angle 6) + 68 = 180
(angle 6) + 55 + 68 = 180
(angle 6) + 123 = 180
(angle 6) + 123 - 123 = 180 - 123
angle 6 = 57
So we now know that angle 6 is 57 degrees
-----------------
Step 3) Find x
We now use the fact that angle 6 and angle x are a linear pair. They combine to form a straight line, or straight angle. In other words they add to 180 degrees (they are supplementary angles)
So,
(angle 6) + x = 180
(57) + x = 180
x + 57 = 180
x + 57 - 57 = 180 - 57
x + 57 - 57 = 123
x = 123
-----------------
Side note: we can use the exterior angle theorem to skip over step 2. To do this, we add up angle 7 (which was 55 degrees) to 68 to get 123 degrees which is the same answer.
Answer:x=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
150-x-2x=120+2x
-x-2x+150=2x+120
-3x + 150=2x+120
150=-x +120
-30=x
