Answer:


\boxed {\angle 1 = 45\textdegree}

Explanation:

First you need to write an expression by using the following equations from both
\angle 1 and
\angle 2 and solve for
x:


\angle 1 = 2x + 13


\angle 2 = 8x - 83


2x + 13 = 8x - 83

-Solve:


2x + 13 = 8x - 83


2x + 13 - 8x = 8x - 8x - 83


-6x + 13 = -83


-6x + 13 - 13 = -83 - 13


-6x = -96


(-6x)/(-6) = (-96)/(-6)


x = 16

After you have found the value of
x, you need to apply the value of
x to the equation of
\angle 1 and solve for the measurement of
\angle 1:

-The value of
x:


x = 16

-Solve for the measurement of
\angle 1:


2x + 13


2(16) + 13


32 + 13


45\textdegree

-The measurement of
\angle 1:


\boxed {\angle 1 = 45\textdegree}
