The measures of ∠𝑥


x
and ∠𝑦

y
are equal. Which is the value of m?

Two axes cross in the shape of an X. Angles x and y are opposite to each other. Angle X is labeled 3 (m + 2). Angle y is labeled 5 m minus 58.

m = 8



m = 26



m = 30



m = 32

To find the value of m, we can set the measures of angles x and y equal to each other and solve for m:

3(m + 2) = 5m - 58

Expanding the left side of the equation:

3m + 6 = 5m - 58

Simplifying the equation by moving all the m terms to one side:

2m = 64

Dividing both sides by 2:

m = 32

Therefore, the value of m is 32.
