Answer:

∠ 4 = 123°

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

9x - 6 + 6x - 1 + 82 = 180

15x + 75 = 180 ( subtract 75 from both sides )

15x = 105 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 7

Then

9x - 6 = 9(7) - 6 = 63 - 6 = 57

∠ 4 and 9x - 7 are adjacent angles and sum to 180°, then

∠ 4 + 57° = 180° ( subtract 57° from both sides )

∠ 4 = 123°
