Answer:

110 and 70

Explanation:

opposite sides of parallelograms are equal so you can set 2x+30 equal to 5x-90

when you do this:

2x+30=5x-90

-2x -2x

30=3x-90

+90 +90

120=3x

/3 /3

40=x

now you can plug 40 in for 5x-90

example:

5(40)-90

200-90

110

m<r=110

<r and <s are supplementary because they are consecutive angles

supplementary is when two angles add up to 180

since <r is 110, do 180-110 and get 70

m<s = 70
