I will give the BRAINEST The picture goes with the question.

If m<1 =(8x-8)
and m<3=
=(7x+8), what is the measure of <2

m<1= m<2

8 x-8= 7x+8

x=16

m<1= 120

m<2 = 180-120=60

Step-by-step explanation:

not strictly sure about my answer but I think...from the picture, the measure of 1 and 3 look equal which implies that

m<1 = m<3

8x-8=7x+8 add 8

8x =7x+16 subtract 7x

x=16

which indicates that

m<1=8x-8

=8(16)-8

=120 units

and

m<3=7x+8

=7(16)+8

=64 units

therefore...since the measure are at a point, like angles...they add up to 360°

m<2=(360°-(120°+64°))/2

=88°

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
