Answer:
[tex]x = 9.33(appx)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If two angles form an supplementary angle, their sum will be 180°.
In the question , angleM & angleR form a supplementary angle.
[tex] = > 13x + 40 + 2x = 180[/tex]
[tex] = > 15x + 40 = 180[/tex]
[tex] = > 15x = 180 - 40 = 140[/tex]
[tex] = > x = \frac{140}{15} = 9.33(appx)[/tex]
