Answer:

1st pic:

x = 61

left angle = 125 degrees

right angle = 55 degrees

2nd pic:

n = 14

left angle = 78 degrees

right angle = 102 degrees

Explanation:

1st pic:

use the following equation ⇒ 2x + 3 + x - 6 = 180

combine like terms ⇒ 3x - 3 = 180

add 6 on both sides ⇒ 3x - 3 + 3 = 180 + 3 ⇒ 3x = 183

divide both sides by 3 ⇒
(3x)/(3) = (183)/(3)

x = 61

solve the angles by subtituting 61 for x

left angle = 2x + 3 ⇒ 2 x 61 + 3 ⇒ 125 degrees

right angle = x - 6 ⇒ 61 - 6 ⇒ 55 degrees

2nd pic:

use the following equation ⇒ 4n + 22 + 8n - 10 = 180

combine like terms ⇒ 12n + 12= 180

subtract 12 on both sides ⇒ 12n + 12 - 12 = 180 - 12 ⇒ 12n = 168

divide both sides by 12 ⇒
(12n)/(12) = (168)/(12)

n = 14

you can find the angles by substituting 14 for n:

left angle = 4n + 22 ⇒ 4 x 14 + 22 =78 degrees

right angle: 8n - 10 ⇒ 8 x 14 - 10 = 102 degrees
