Answer:

The two smaller angles equal 24 and together they equal 48

Explanation:

The bisector tells us that the smaller angles equal each other

3x + 6 = 7x - 18 Subtract 3x from both sides

6 = 4x - 18 Add 18 to both sides

24 = 4x Divide both sides by 4

6 = x

Now, plug 6 back into each equation.

3x + 6

3(6) + 6

18 + 6

24

7x - 18

7(6) - 18

42 - 18

24
