Answer:

∠EHF = 99°

Explanation:

Given ∠EHG = 176°, ∠EHF = (4y+107)°, and ∠FHG = (10y+97)°, you want the measure of angle EHF.

Angle Addition

Angle EHG is the sum of its parts:

∠EHG = ∠EHG +∠FHG

176° = (4y+107)° +(10y+97)° . . . . use the given values

176 = 14y +204 . . . . . . . . . simplify, divide by °

-28 = 14y . . . . . . . . . . subtract 204

-2 = y . . . . . . . . . . divide by 14

∠EHF = (4y +107)° = (4(-2) +107)°

∠EHF = 99°
