Answer: m<8=97 degrees.

m<5=83 degrees

Explanation:

m<8=m<2 ==> Angles 8 and 2 are alternate interior angles, meaning that they're equal.

m<8=97 degrees.

m<8+m<5=180 degrees ==> Both angles 8 and 5 add up to a straight line, and straight lines measure 180 degrees and are called straight angles.

97+m<5=180

97-97+m<5=180-97

m<5=83 degrees
