Answer 1

Answer:

60°

140°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figures,

 a. we use the concept of alternate angles.

   Two parallel lines cut by a transversal will have equal alternate angles;

  So;

       6x + 12 = 7x + 4

    collect like terms and solve for x;

     6x - 7x = 4 - 12

         -x = -8

         x = 8

Now, 6x + 12 = 6(8) + 12

                     = 48 + 12

                     = 60°

b. Here we use alternate angles and angles on a line;

     4x is an alternate angle to that angle to the left of 13x + 10

   

And sum of angles on a line = 180

    4x + 13x + 10 = 180

        17x = 170

          x = 10

Now,  13x + 10 = 13(10) + 10 = 140°
