Explanation:

1.

since the 2 lines cross each other at a right angle (90°), there is no other angle in the system than 90°.

as there are 4 angles, and a full circle has 360°, each of the 4 angles must have 360/4 = 90°.

out of the 4 angles we have 4 linear pairs. and all of them have only 90° angles.

2.

the angles of a linear pair always add up to 180° (a half-circle on one side of a line).

so,

x + x/2 = 180

2x + x = 360

3x = 360

x = 120

one angle is 120°, the other is then 180-120 = 60°.

3.

one angle is

67° 10' 30"

the other angle is then

180 - 67° 10' 30" = 112° 49' 30"

4.

2x + 12 + 3x + 28 = 180

5x + 40 = 180

5x = 140

x = 28

5.

x = 20

one angle is 2x + 80 = 2×20 + 80 = 40 + 80 = 120°.

the other one is then

180 - 120 = 60°

I am not sure, if I see all possible answer options, because none of the visible ones work.

with x=20 we can reach 60° in many forms. e.g.

3x

2x + 20

4x - 20

usw.

please pick a fitting option.
