Answer:

  • m∠2 = 50°

Explanation:

We know that:

  • => m∠2 + 5x + 55 = 180°
  • => 5x + 55 = 2x + 100

Because of 180° angle formula.

First, let's solve for x. Then we will solve m∠2.

  • => 5x + 55 = 2x + 100
  • => 5x - 2x = 100 - 55
  • => 3x = 45
  • => x = 15

Since we have found x, it is time to find m∠2.

  • => 5(15) + 55 + m∠2 = 180
  • => 75 + 55 + m∠2 = 180
  • => 130 + m∠2 = 180
  • => m∠2 = 180 - 130
  • => m∠2 = 50

Conclusion:

Therefore, the measure of m∠2 is 50°

Hoped this helped.

Answer: 50

Explanation:

5x + 55 = 2x + 100

5x = 2x + 45

3x = 45

x = 15

y equals angle 2

180 = 5(15) + 55 + y

180 = 75 + 55 + y

180 = 130 + y

50 = y

angle is 50
