Answer:

m<GLK = 58°

Explanation:

Given:

m<GLH = 2x + 6

m<HLJ = x

Required:

m<GLK

Solution:

First, find the value of x

m<GLH + m<HLJ = 180° => Linear Pair Theorem

Substitute

2x + 6 + x = 180

Add like terms

3x + 6 = 180

3x + 6 - 6 = 180 - 6

3x = 174

3x/3 = 174/3

x = 58

m<HLJ = x = 58°

Thus, m<HLJ and m<GLK are Vertical angles.

Therefore:

m<GLK = m<HLJ (Vertical angles theorem)

m<GLK = 58° (Substitution)
