Can someone please help me?

First off, a triangle will be 180 all together, so, x + 59 + x + 51 = 180, 59 + 51 is 110, x + x is 2x, 180 - 110 is 70 so you have 2x = 70, now divide both sides by two, The left will cancel out to x and the other will be 35, x = 35, now you are looking for angle a, in order to find this, you have to plug in your X, so 51+35 is 86, that should be your answer, I hope this helps!

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer
