This is another question, I think I'm getting the hang of this. Picture is attached below

It is asking me to find m and n. I have the answer for it but not all the steps for it. The answer should m=60 and n=12

I think this is what I need to do 6m-120, but right after that I get confused, like how am I supposed to find m and n, would it be 6m-120=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keeping in mind that the angle of a straight line always equals 180 so i'm a little confused. Is the m-120 for just that one angle? Or for both?

OpenStudy (freckles):

|did you look at that one site I showed you previously on your previous post? the two angles with 2m and 4m-120 has measurements are congruent since they are corresponding angles

OpenStudy (freckles):

which means 2m=4m-120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did, but it only talked about supplementary angles. oh okay, wait so 2m=4m-120

OpenStudy (freckles):

it also talked about congruent angles

OpenStudy (freckles):

and it talked about three kinds of congruent angles

OpenStudy (freckles):

the angles I mentioned earlier were corresponding angles

OpenStudy (freckles):

now |dw:1443728005251:dw| the sum of these circled angles is 180 deg
