Given:

It is given that LON is a straight line. The measure of ∠LOM = (4x + 30)° and the measure of ∠MON = (8x + 90)°

We need to determine the value of m∠MON

Value of x:

Since, LON is a straight line and the angles LOM and MON are linear pairs of angles.

Since, linear pair of angles add up to 180°

Thus, we have;

[tex]\angle LOM+\angle MON=180^{\circ}[/tex]

Substituting the values, we get;

[tex]4x+30+8x+90=180[/tex]

[tex]12x+120=180[/tex]

[tex]12x=60[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Thus, the value of x is 5.

Value of m∠MON:

The measure of ∠MON can be determined by substituting x = 5 in the expression (8x + 90)°, we have;

[tex]m\angle MON=(8(5)+90)^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle MON=(40+90)^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle MON=130^{\circ}[/tex]

Thus, the measure of ∠MON is 130°
