Answer:

59 degrees

Explanation:

Since CAT and BAM are vertical angles, they are congruent.

6x - 125 = 2x + 39

6x = 2x + 164

4x = 164

x = 41

2(41) + 39 = 121 (Angle BAM, which is also congruent to CAT)

Both angles measure 121 degrees. To find CAB, we will use supplementary angles are equal to 180 degrees. (BAM+CAB = 180)

121 + y = 180

y = 59

The measure of CAB is 59 degrees.
