Answer: m∠B=53°

Explanation:

A property that is inherent in a trapezoid of any kind: the sum of the angles adjoining a side is equal to 180°

Hence,

(32x-1)+(14x-3)=180

32x-1+14x-3=180

46x-4=180

46x-4+4=180+4

46x=184

Divide both parts of the equation by 46:

x=4

m∠B=14x-3

m∠B=14(4)-3

m∠B=56-3

m∠B=53°
