Answer:
Since ∠MHT and ∠MAT are opposite angles, then
m∠MHT + m∠MAT = 180
(3x+10) + (2x-5) = 180
3x + 2x + 10 - 5 = 180
5x + 5 = 180
5x = 180 - 5
5x = 175
x = 35
To solve the measures of the two angles, substitute the value of x.
m∠MHT = 3x+10
m∠MHT = 3(35)+10
m∠MHT = 105+10
m∠MHT = 115
m∠MAT = 2x-5
m∠MAT = 2(35)-5
m∠MAT = 70-5
m∠MAT = 65
