Answer:

m∠MNO = 26°

Explanation:

In the figure attached,

Angle MNO is an external angle of triangle LMN,

m∠NLM = (x + 1)°

m∠LMN = (x + 15)°

m∠MNO = (4x + 6)°

Therefore, by theorem of exterior angle of a triangle,

m∠MNO = m∠NLM + m∠LMN

(4x + 6)° = (x + 1)° + (x + 15)°

4x + 6 = 2x + 16

4x - 2x = 16 - 6

2x = 10

x = 5

Now m∠MNO = (4x + 6)°

= (4 × 5) + 6

= 26°

Therefore, measure of angle MNO is 26°
