Answer:

x = 39

m ∠1 = 63°

m ∠2 = 117°

Explanation:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° since they are adjacent linear angles lying on the same straight line

Therefore x + 24 + 3x = 180

4x + 24 = 180

4x = 180-24 = 156

x = 156/4 = 39

Therefore x = 39 (a)

FOr (b) substitute this value of x = 39 into each equation

m∠1 = x + 24 = 39 + 24 = 63°

m∠2 = 3x = 3(39) = 117°
