Answer:

soooooo basically,

Explanation:

10x-1 DOES NOT equal 59

the angels are very different

we will say the line intersecting m and n makes it where 59 and the angel next to it must equal 180

so find that angel

180-59=121

therefore it should be

10x-1+59=180

combine like terms

10x+58=180

subtract 58 from BOTH sides

which cancels 58 on the LEFT side

10x=122

divide 10 from BOTH sides

which cancels the 10 on the LEFT side

which is leaving us with

x=12.2

or

x=61/5

hope i helped
