Answer:

28

Explanation:

Alright, if <1 = <3, then:

5x + 8 = 12x - 20

so we'll simplify and move the x's and the numbers to different sides:

8 + 20 = 12x - 5x

now simplify using algebra:

28 = 7x

divide 28 by 7:

x = 4

m<1 = m3

plug 4 in as 'x' and you get 28.

m<1 = m<3 = m<2 because they're opposite angles on different sides of a 180-degree line.

m<2 = 28
