Answer:

m<1 = 125°

m<2 = 55°

Explanation:

Okay, so we're dealing with alternate interior angles and all that sorta stuff, so I'll try to explain it best I can, if I'm too confusing let me know, let's go:

So the angle labeled 125° and angle 1 are alternate interior angles, so they're equal (yes, we're ignoring the fact that that might not me right because the other line isn't straight, I don't have another solution okay) anyways, so that means that:

1 = 125°

Now we know what 1 and 2 are on the same plane or axis or something like that, so basically, 1 and 2 HAVE TO add up to 180°, so that means that:

125 + x = 180

And now we just have to do the inverse operations thing:

180 - 125 = 55

So, m<1 = 125° and m<2 = 55°

tell me if this is wrong so I can fix it

hope this helps:)
