M∠6 is (2x – 5)° and m∠8 is (x + 5)°. what is m∠3?

m∠3=115°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given from the figure that line q is parallel to s and r is the transversal.

Since, m∠6 and m∠8 forms a linear pair as they are on the straight line r, therefore using the linear pair property, we have

m∠6+m∠8=180°

⇒

⇒

Thus, the measure of ∠6 is

Now, m∠3=m∠6=115° as both m∠3 and m∠6 forms the alternate interior angle pair.

Therefore, the measure of m∠3=115°.
