In a parallelogram opposite angles are congruent to each other. This means that angles lying on the same side are equal to 180 degrees (due to a parallelogram equaling to 360 degrees).
\(\large\bf{(6x+20)+(4x+10)=180}\)
Simplify.
563blackghost:
What would `x` equal?
Comerpickles:
Okie, one second, lemme do the math
Comerpickles:
By combining like terms and simplifying, wouldn't you get 10x+30?

Correct. Now you need to isolate x.
Comerpickles:
Factor?

@demolisher1224
563blackghost:
Not quite.
You have \(\large\bf{10x+30=180}\) right?
We would need to isolate x by first subtracting 30 from both sides.
\(\large\bf{10x=150}\) now we divide by 10 from each side to isolate x.
What is x?
Comerpickles:
1 & 15?

Well yes for it equaling for 15. It is said as `x equals 15` since this is a variable we do not assume x is equal to 1. (if that is what you mean).
So now we know `x = 15` we can now plug this into the expression.
\(\large\bf{ m \angle A = 6(15)+20}\)
563blackghost:
Simplify.
Comerpickles:
110?
demolisher1224:
sorry can't help not really good with these questions
