**Problem 1:**


- \( m\angle A = (3 * 19 + 18)^\circ = 75^\circ \) ;- \( m\angle B = (7 * 19 - 58)^\circ = 75^\circ \) ;- \( m\angle C = (2 * 19 - 8)^\circ = 32^\circ \)

**Problem 2:**

-
\( KL = 9 * (3)/(2) - 40 = -31 \) (Note: This result indicates that the given values may not form a valid triangle, as side lengths cannot be negative.)

-
\( LM = 7 * (3)/(2) - 37 = -28.5 \) (Note: This result indicates that the given values may not form a valid triangle, as side lengths cannot be negative.)

-
\( KM = 3 * (3)/(2) + 23 = (29)/(2) \)





**Problem 1:**

Given triangle
\( \Delta ABC \) with \( \overline{AC} \cong \overline{CB} \):


- \( m\angle A = (3x + 18)^\circ \)- \( m\angle B = (7x - 58)^\circ \)- \( m\angle C = (2x - 8)^\circ \)

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is
\(180^\circ\), so:


\[ m\angle A + m\angle B + m\angle C = 180^\circ \]

Substitute the given expressions:


\[ (3x + 18) + (7x - 58) + (2x - 8) = 180 \]

Combine like terms:


\[ 12x - 48 = 180 \]

Add 48 to both sides:


\[ 12x = 228 \]

Divide by 12:


\[ x = 19 \]

Now, substitute \(x\) back into the angle expressions:


- \( m\angle A = (3 * 19 + 18)^\circ = 75^\circ \) ;- \( m\angle B = (7 * 19 - 58)^\circ = 75^\circ \) ;- \( m\angle C = (2 * 19 - 8)^\circ = 32^\circ \)

**Problem 2:**

Given triangle
\( \Delta KLM \):


- \( \angle K \cong \angle L \)


- \( KL = 9x - 40 \)


- \( LM = 7x - 37 \)


- \( KM = 3x + 23 \)

Since
\( \angle K \cong \angle L \), it's an isosceles triangle, and the two sides opposite these angles are congruent. Therefore, KL = LM:


\[ 9x - 40 = 7x - 37 \]

Subtract 7x from both sides:


\[ 2x - 40 = -37 \]

Add 40 to both sides:


\[ 2x = 3 \]

Divide by 2:


\[ x = (3)/(2) \]

Now, substitute x back into the expressions:

-
\( KL = 9 * (3)/(2) - 40 = -31 \) (Note: This result indicates that the given values may not form a valid triangle, as side lengths cannot be negative.)

-
\( LM = 7 * (3)/(2) - 37 = -28.5 \) (Note: This result indicates that the given values may not form a valid triangle, as side lengths cannot be negative.)

-
\( KM = 3 * (3)/(2) + 23 = (29)/(2) \)
