Explanation:

m∠2 = m∠4

y + 10 = 3y - 24

y - 3y = -24 - 10

-2y = -34

y = -34/-2

y = 17

m∠2 = y + 10

m∠2 = 17 + 10

m∠2 = 27°

Answer:


27 \degree

Explanation:

As the opposite angles are equal,


m < 2 = m < 4

Given that,

m <2 = y + 10°

m <4 = 3y - 24

Therefore,


y + 10 = 3y - 24

Now let's solve for y


y + 10 = 3y - 24 \\ 10 + 24 = 3y - y \\ 34 = 2y \\ (34)/(2) = (2y)/(2) \\ 17 = y

Now let's find m<2


m < 2 = y + 10 \\ = 17 + 10 \\ = 27 \degree

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-):-)
