Answer:

1. m ∠ 1 = 86°

m ∠ 2 = 4°

- Problem in the picture

2. m ∠ 1 = 6°

m ∠ 2 = 84°

Explanation:

I'm confused, so I'll just solve both problems (assuming that they are the same type of angle)

1.

m Z1 = (x+84)° and m2 = 2xº.

m ∠ 1 = (x + 84)°

m ∠ 2 = 2x°

Complementary angles are equal to 90°

(x + 84) + 2x = 90

x + 84 + 2x = 90

3x + 84 = 90

-84 -84

----------------------

3x = 6

÷3 ÷3

-----------

x = 2°

m ∠ 1 = (x + 84)°

m ∠ 1 = (2 + 84)°

m ∠ 1 = 86°

m ∠ 2 = 2x°

m ∠ 2 = 2(2)°

m ∠ 2 = 4°

2. (Problem in the picture)

m ∠ 1 = (x - 6)°

m ∠ 2 = 7x°

Complementary angles are equal to 90°

(x - 6) + 7x = 90

x - 6 + 7x = 90

8x - 6 = 90

+6 +6

---------------------

8x = 96

÷8 ÷8

----------------

x = 12

m ∠ 1 = (x - 6)°

m ∠ 1 = (12 - 6)°

m ∠ 1 = 6°

m ∠ 2 = 7x°

m ∠ 2 = 7(12)°

m ∠ 2 = 84°

I hope this helps!
