Imagine removing the segment SP, what is the angle m∠RST?

m∠RST = 15x -10

Then, the segment SP divides the angle m∠RST in two, m∠RSP and m∠PST and we know the corresponding values (in terms of x obviously). Now, each line is a way to express the situation.

m∠RST = m∠RSP + m∠PST (by Angle Addition Postulate).


15x - 10 = (x +25) + (5x +10)\\

Then, with some of algebra, we obtain


15x - 10 = 5x+35


9x = 45


x = 5



7. Adjacent angles: Two angles are Adjacent when they have a common side and a common vertex (that is the corner point) and don't overlap.

Opposite angles: When two lines intersect, four angles are formed. The angles that are directly opposite to each other are called Opposite Angles


8. m∠LMN = 2 m∠LMP. But The Lienar Pair says that: Two angles that are adjacent (share a leg) and supplementary (add up to 180°). Then m∠LMN + m∠LMP = 180, so

2 m∠LMP + m∠LMP = 180, then

m∠LMP = 60
