Word problems really confuse me. Can this question be explained to me?

use y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation: Every straight line can be represented by an equation: y = mx + b. The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

we know that

applying the law of sines

°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=29°

∠l=180-(18+29)=133°

the answer part a) is

the measure of angle k is  ≈29°

part b)  the measure of angle k could also be

(180-29)=151°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=151°

∠l=180-(18+151)=11°

the answer part b) is

the measure of angle k could also be 151°
