A 1010


B 1212


C 1515


D 20

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can set up an equation using the information given:

Angle M + Angle L = 116°
50° + (7x - 4)° = 116°

Now, substitute the value of angle M into the equation:

50 + 7x - 4 = 116
46 + 7x = 116
7x = 70
x = 10

Therefore, the value of x is 10.

Correct answer: A) 10
