Answer:

[tex] \alpha + (\alpha + 61) = 109 \\ 2 \alpha + 61 = 109 \\ 2 \alpha = 48 \\ \alpha = 24[/tex]

The measure of angle one is 24°

You would set up the equation like this:
(x+61) +x = 109. X represents angle 1. Therefore the equation simplifies to 2x= 48 making x=24 which means angle 1 is equal to 24.
