Find m/ELM if m/ELM = 15x - 1, m/KLE = 20°, and m/KLM = 17x - 1.

Answer:
∠ ELM = 149°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ KLM = ∠ KLE + ∠ ELM , substitute values
17x - 1 = 20 + 15x - 1
17x - 1 = 15x + 19 ( subtract 15x from both sides )
2x - 1 = 19 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 10
Then
∠ ELM = 15x - 1 = 15(10) - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149°
