Answer:
m1 is 36º and m2 is 54º
Step-by-step explanation:
So this looks like a 90º angle, just split up in two different other angles. This angle altogether is 90º.
So let's make an equation.
(x+18) + 3x = 90
Now just solve for x, you can get rid of the parenthesis.
x + 18 + 3x = 90
Combine the like terms first --
x + 3x = 4x
Now it is 18 + 4x = 90
Now to isolate 4x you have to subtract 18, so do it on both sides. 18-18=0 90-18= 72
Now the equation is 4x = 72
Now to isolate x you do opposite operation and divide 4x/4 and 72/4 = 18
So, x equals 18. Now you know what x is, you have to find out what m1 and m2 is. Replace x with 18.
m1-- 18 + 18 = 36
m2-- 3(18)= 54
So, m1 is 36º and m2 is 54º
Hope this helps!!
