Answer:

  angle 1 = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Where a transversal crosses parallel lines, consecutive interior angles are supplementary. That means angles 1 and 2 total 180°.

  (x +10)° +(5x +50)° = 180°

  6x +60 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

  x +10 = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

The measure of angle 1 is x+10, so is 30°.
