Answer:

m∠MNQ = 25°

Explanation:

From this image, we can assume that ∠MNQ ≅ ∠PNR because they are vertical angles.

Because they are vertical angles, they are congruent to each other. Use this information to create an equation.

m∠MNQ = 2x - 1

m∠PNR = 5x - 40

m∠MNQ ≅ m∠PNR

2x - 1 = 5x - 40

Solve the equation

2x = 5x - 39

-3x = -39

x = 13

Plug in the answer for m∠MNQ

m∠MNQ = 2x - 1

m∠MNQ = 2(13) - 1

m∠MNQ = 26 - 1

m∠MNQ = 25

m∠MNQ = 25°
