SOLUTION: If L is parallel to M, the measure of angle 7 = 6x + 4, and the measure of angle 15 = 14x - 4, calculate the measure of angle 13. -58 degrees -171 degrees -9 degrees -122

Question 1040948: If L is parallel to M, the measure of angle 7 = 6x + 4, and the measure of angle 15 = 14x - 4, calculate the measure of angle 13.
-58 degrees
-171 degrees
-9 degrees
-122 degrees
I got 122 degrees. Can you please write an explanation as to why it is correct? I'm very bad at math. Thanks in advance!

Sum of angles 7 and 15 is 180 degrees.

Angle 13 and angle 7 are corresponding and are in this case, congruent (same angle measure).
