Answer:
part a) 5x + x - 12 = 180
part b) m<1 = 20
m<2 = 160
Explanation:
For part a, it is important to note that all angles on a straight line equals to 180 degrees. So, with the expressions given, we can make this equation:
5x + x - 12 = 180
For part b, we have to first solve for x using the expression we made for part a, then use the x value to find the angle measures:
5x + x - 12 = 180
6x - 12 = 180
6x = 192
x = 32
m<1 = x - 12
m<1 = 32 - 12
m<1 = 20
m<2 = 5x
m<2 = 5(32)
m<2 = 160
