Answer 1

When three lines intersect at a point, they create angles that sum up to 360 degrees around that point.

Given two angles \(2x\) and \(75^\circ\), we can find the measurement of the two angles \( \angle AGB \) and \( \angle BGC \) around the intersection point.

Assuming that the angles \(2x\) and \(75^\circ\) are adjacent angles at the point of intersection, we can denote the other two angles as \( \angle AGB\) and \( \angle BGC\), which will also be adjacent to \(2x\) and \(75^\circ\).

From the property of angles around a point:
\[
\angle AGB + \angle BGC + 75 + 2x = 360
\]

Since angles \(2x\) and \(75^\circ\) are supplementary to angles \( \angle AGB\) and \( \angle BGC\) respectively (they share a line), we get:
\[
\angle AGB + 2x = 180
\]
\[
\angle BGC + 75 = 180
\]

From these two equations, we can solve for \( \angle AGB\) and \( \angle BGC\).

1. From \( \angle BGC + 75 = 180 \):
\[
\angle BGC = 180 - 75 = 105^\circ
\]

2. From \( \angle AGB + 2x = 180 \):
Rearranging gives:
\[
\angle AGB = 180 - 2x
\]

Now we can calculate the total degrees around the point by substituting \( \angle AGB\) and \( \angle BGC\) back into the first equation we formed:

\[
(180-2x) + 105 + 75 = 360
\]

Simplifying gives:
\[
(180 - 2x) + 180 = 360 \\
360 - 2x = 360 \\
-2x = 0 \\
x = 0
\]

Now substituting \(x\) back into our expressions for the angles:

1. \( \angle BGC = 105^\circ \)
2. \( \angle AGB = 180 - 2(0) = 180^\circ \)

Notice that we may instead adjust:
If \(x\) were a valid positive angle, real-world parameters would be considered again. Here:

So the values as defined in angles remain constant adjustments to maintain totality of intersection at angles accrued, based on adjacent equal notations.

In summary, we have:

- **Angle AGB:** \( 180^\circ \)
- **Angle BGC:** \( 105^\circ \)

This corresponds primarily to the adjacent summation interplay, demonstrating intersection geometry.

Thus, the answer is:

- Angle AGB: \( 105^\circ \)
- Angle BGC: \( 75^\circ \) depending on x but influenced by measures stated.

Ensure to validate adjacent operations on continued angles as projections are taken cumulatively amidst intersections.
