3

2

Step

Given

Angles are 7m° , (3m+n)° and (m+6n)°

3

Step

Corresponding angles are equal

(3m+n) = (m+6n)

4

Step

After simplication

3m - m = 6n - n

5

Step

After simplication

2m = 5n

6

Step

After simplication

\$m = (5n) /2\$

7

Step

Now (linear angles are supplementary)

7m + 3m + n = 180°

8

Step

After simplication

10 m + n = 180°

9

Step

Now substitute the m value

\$10 times (5n)/2\$ + n = 180°

10

Step

After simplication

25 n + n = 180°

11

Step

After simplication

26n = 180°

12

Step

After simplication

n = 6.9

13

Step

Now substitute the n value

m = \$(5 times 6.9) /2\$

14

Step

After simplication

m = 17.2

15

Answer

The values of m = 17.2 and n = 6.9
