Answer:

[tex]L = 111[/tex]

[tex]M = 69[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L = 12x + 45[/tex]

[tex]M = 18x - 30[/tex]

Required

Determine L and M

Since both angles are supplementary;

[tex]L + M = 180[/tex]

Substitute values for L and M

[tex]12x + 45 + 18x - 30 = 180[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]12x + 18x= 180 - 45 + 30[/tex]

[tex]30x= 165[/tex]

Divide both sides by 30

[tex]x = \frac{165}{30}[/tex]

[tex]x = 5.5[/tex]

Substitute 5.5 for x in [tex]L = 12x + 45[/tex]  and    [tex]M = 18x - 30[/tex]

[tex]L = 12 * 5.5 + 45[/tex]

[tex]L = 111[/tex]

[tex]M = 18 * 5.5 - 30[/tex]

[tex]M = 69[/tex]
