m∠LKJ = 153°
m∠LKE = (x + 36)°
m∠EKJ = (x + 105)°
A) 3
B) 4
C) 6
D) 9

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle Addition Postulate describes that putting two angles side by side with their vertices together creates a new angle whose measure equals the sum of the measures of the two original angles.
By Angle Addition Postulate,
[tex]m\angle LKJ=m\angle LKE+m\angle EKJ[/tex]
Since
[tex]m\angle LKJ = 153^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle LKE = (x + 36)^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle EKJ = (x + 105)^{\circ},[/tex]
you have
[tex]153^{\circ}=(x+36)^{\circ}+(x+105)^{\circ}\\ \\x+36+x+105=153\\ \\2x+141=153\\ \\2x=153-141\\ \\2x=12\\ \\x=6[/tex]
Answer:
C x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠LKE + m∠EKJ = m∠LKJ → (x + 36) + (x + 105) = 153 → x = 6
