Final answer:

To find m, set the expressions for m1 and m4 equal to each other and solve for x. Then substitute the value of x to find m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find m, we can set the given expressions for m1 and m4 equal to each other and solve for x:

(6x + 25)° = (10x - 11)°

Expand the expressions:

6x + 25 = 10x - 11

Combine like terms:

25 + 11 = 10x - 6x

36 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 9

Now substitute this value of x back into either m1 or m4 to find m:

m = (6x + 25)° = (6(9) + 25)° = 59°
