Answer:

Angle 3 = 86.8

Angle 6 = 96.4

Angle 7 = 93.2

Explanation:

Given :

angle 6 = 4x + 10

angle 7 = 2x + 40

=> angle 6 + angle 7 = 180° { linear pair }

=> 4x+10 +2x+40 = 180

=> 6x+50 = 180

=> 6x = 180-50

=> 6x = 130

=> x = 130/6

=> x = 21.6

so ,the measure of angle 6 = 4x + 10 = 4(21.6) +10 = 86.4+10 = 96.4

the measure of angle 7 = 2x + 40 = 2(21.6) +40 = 43.2+50 = 93.2

now angle 7 = angle 4 + angle 5

and angle 3 + angle 4 + angle 5 = 180°

so, angle 7 + angle 3 = 180

=> 93.2 + angle 3 = 180

=> angle 3 = 180 - 93.2

=> angle 3 = 86.8
