Answer 1

m<2 + m<1 + 90 = 180, because the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180, right?
m<2 + m<1 = 90
(3x+1) + (2x+4) = 90

FIRST step, solve for x
SECOND step, to find m<2, substitute x into the expression (3x+1)

Answer 2

x=17???
and M<2= 52???

Answer 3

yup, looks good to me, great job!

Answer 4

the question is asking for m<2, so 52 would be the correct answer :)
