a) the two angles are supplementary, then:

(3x - 45) + (2x + 25) = 180

(3x + 2x) + (-45 + 25) = 180

5x - 20 = 180

5x = 180 + 20

5x = 200

x = 200/5

x = 40

Then, the measure of the angles are:

3x - 45 = 3*40 - 45 = 75°

2x + 25 = 2*40 + 25 = 105°

b) the two angles are complementary, then:

(2y) + (6y - 30) = 90

(2y + 6y) - 30 = 90

8y = 90 + 30

8y = 120

y = 120/8

y = 15

Then, the measure of the angles are:

2y = 2*15 = 30°

6y - 30 = 6*15 - 30 = 60°

c) the two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent, that is,

2z + 7 = 5z - 23

7 + 23 = 5z - 2z

30 = 3z

30/3 = z

10 = z

Then, the measure of the angles are:

2z + 7 = 2*10 + 7 = 27°

5z - 23 = 5*10 - 23 = 27°

d) the two angles are alternative exterior angles, then they are congruent, that is,

4x - 5 = 3x + 15

4x - 3x = 15 + 5

x = 20

Then, the measure of the angles are:

4x - 5 = 4*20 - 5 = 75°

3x + 15 = 3*20 + 15 = 75°
