Answer:

m∡L = 51°

Explanation:

In any parallelogram, the sum of the angle measures on one side is 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:


(2z-3)^o+(5z-6)^o=180^o

Let's skip the degree marks and parentheses


2z-3+5z-6=180 combine like terms


(2z+5z)+(-3-6)=180


7z-9=180 add 9 to both sides


7z-9+9=180+9


7z=189 divide both sides by 7


(7z)/(7)=(189)/(7)


z=27

Put the value of z to the expression m∡L = (2z - 3)°:


m\angle L=(2\cdot27-3)^o=(54-3)^o=51^o

Good evening ,

Answer:

m∠L = 51°

Explanation:

the sum of measures of angles of a parallelogram = 360°

2[(2z-3)+(5z-6)] = 360

⇔ 2[7z - 9] = 360 ⇔ 14z - 18 = 360 ⇔ 14z = 378 ⇔ z = 27

m∠L = 2z - 3 = 2(27) - 3 = 54 - 3 = 51.
