Answer: ∠LKM=56° and ∠MKN=89°

Explanation:

Notice that ∠LKM and ∠MKN make up ∠LKN. That means ∠LKM and ∠MKN combines equals 145°.

2x+10+4x-3=145 [combing like terms]

6x+7=145 [subtract both sides by 7]

6x=138 [divide both sides by 6]

x=23

We are almost done. We still need to plug it in to find the angle values.

∠LKM

2x+10 [plug in x=23]

2(23)+10 [multiply]

46+10 [add]

56

∠LKM=56°

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∠MKN

4x-3 [plug in x=23]

4(23)-3 [multiply]

92-3 [subtract]

89

∠MKN=89°

Therefore, ∠LKM=56° and ∠MKN=89°.
