Answer:

1st pic:

x = 49

top angle = 45

bottom angle = 108

far right angle = 27 degrees

2nd pic:

angle 1 = 88 degrees

angle 2 = 57 degrees

angle 3 = 35 degrees

angle 4 = 145 degrees

Explanation:

1st pic:

you can find the far right angle by taking 153 and subtracting it from 180:

⇒ 180 - 153 = 27 degrees

you can find x by the following equation ⇒ x - 4 + 2x + 10 + 27 = 180

combine like terms ⇒ 3x + 33 = 180

subtract 33 from each side ⇒ 3x + 33 - 33 = 180 - 33 ⇒ 3x = 147

divide 3 on each side: ⇒
(3x)/(3) = (147)/(3)

x = 49

to find the top and bottom angles, substitute 49 for x:

top angle : x - 4

49 - 4 = 45 degrees

bottom angle: 2x + 10

2 x 49 + 10 = 108 degrees

2nd pic:

angle 1:

⇒ 180 - 92 = 88 degrees

angle 2:

⇒ 180 - 123 = 57 degrees

angle 3:

⇒ 180 - (88 + 57) = 35 degrees

angle 4:

⇒ 180 - 35 = 145 dgerees
