Answer:

The values of variables x and m are 11 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing details as the diagram of the trapezoid isn't attached.

(See attachment).

Given that trapezoid CHLE is isosceles then the angles at the base area equal (4x)

And

The angles at the top are also equal

8m = 11x + 15

At this point, the four angles in the trapezoid are 8m, 11x + 15, 4x and 4x..

The sum of interior= 360

So,

11x + 15 + 8m + 4x + 4x = 360

Collect like terms

11x + 4x + 4x + 8m = 360 - 15

19x + 8m = 345

Substitute 11x + 15 for 8m

19x + 11x + 15 = 345

30x + 15 = 345

30x = 345 - 15

30x = 330

Divide through by 30

30x/30 = 330/30

x = 11

Recall that 8m = 11x + 15;

8m = 11(11) + 15

8m = 121 + 15

8m = 136

Divide through by 8

8m/8 = 136/8

m = 17

Hence, the values of variables x and m are 11 and 17
