Answer 1

im using < for the angle symbol

m<ILG = m<HLG + m<ILG

you also know that m<ILG is a right angle.
it's given that m<HLG = 9m and m<ILH is (25m + 22)

knowing that, how can you solve for m?

Answer 2

i'm still kinda confused

Answer 3

ok, so since ILG is a right angle, its measure is 90 degrees. It is also equal to the combination of HLG and ILH

therefore, ILH + HLG = 90
(25m + 22) + 9m = 90

Answer 4

oh okay

Answer 5

Got it? Awesome (:
