Find the value of x if m<4 = 2x + 20 and m<8 = 3x - 5. Use that info to calculate the exact measure of each angle.

Since m<4 and m<8 both add up to 180 degrees. Combine 2x + 20 and 3x - 5 and set it equal to 180. By subtracting 15 to the other side and dividing five to the other side you get x=33. Plug 33 back into the angle measurement separate equations to find degree angle measurement. Your welcome.
