16. We can desginate the point where the lines meet as O. Angles NOK and MOL are vertical angles, so are equal. The diagram tells you the measure of NOK is 90° + 15° = 105°, so that is the measure of (5x)°. The value of x is
... 105/5 = x = 21
17. Division by a fraction is the same as multiplication by its inverse.
