Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can use the information given that the sum of the measures of angle M and angle L is 116°.

The measure of angle M is 50° and the measure of angle L is (7x - 4)°.

Therefore, we can write the equation: 50 + (7x - 4) = 116

Now, solve for x:
50 + 7x - 4 = 116
7x + 46 = 116
7x = 116 - 46
7x = 70
x = 70 / 7
x = 10

Therefore, the value of x is 10.
