Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are adjacent angles and are supplementary, sum to 180° , so

5x + x + 54 = 180 ← equation to solve to find x

6x + 54 = 180 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

6x = 126 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 21

Then

∠ 1 = 5x = 5 × 21 = 105°

∠ 2 = x + 54 = 21 + 54 = 75°
