Answer:

81

Explanation:

The angles shown are formed on a straight line

Angles formed on a straight line add up to 180

So m + m + 18 = 180

We've just created an equation that we can use to solve for m

So we can now solve for m

m + m + 18 = 180

Combine like terms

2m + 18 = 180

Subtract 18 from both sides

2m + 18 - 18 = 180 - 18

2m = 162

Divide both sides by 2

2m/2 = 162/2

m = 81
