Question

MZLOM= 3x – 15°
mZMON = 5x – 23°
Find mZMON:

Answer 1

57

Explanation:

Together both angles equal 90

(3x - 15) + (5x -23) = 90

Combine like terms

8x - 38 = 90

Add 38 to both sides

8x = 128

Divide by 8

x = 16

You can check by replacing x with 16 and seeing if it still equals 90.

To find angle MON... replace x with 16

5(16) - 23

Angle MON = 57

I hope this helps!!
