In order to find the values of the labeled angles, you take into account that such angles are opposite angles by the vertex, thus, they both are equal and you have:


4x=75-x

you solve the previous equation for x, just as follow:

4x = 75 - x add x both sides

4x + x = 75

5x = 75 you divide both sides between 5

x = 75/5

x = 15

Next, you replace this value of x into the expressions for the angles:

4x = 4(15) = 60

75 - x = 75 - (15) = 60

Hence, the searched angle is 60°
