I believe there might be some information missing in your query???? An angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent or equal angles.
Suppose m ∠ 1 = x + 19 and m ∠ 2 = 5x + 5
To find x, simply solve the equation:
x + 19 = 5x + 5
19 - 5 = 5x - x
14 = 4x
14/4 = 4x/4
x = 7/2
Putting x = 7/2 back into the original equation,
x + 19 = 5x + 5 --> (7/2) + 19 = 5(7/2) + 5 --> 45/2 = 45/2
Therefore, each side is 22.5˚ since a 22.5˚ angle can be obtained by bisecting a 45˚ angle.
