Problem 6
Step1: Use angle - addition postulate
Since $\angle CDF+\angle FDE=\angle CDE$, we have the equation $(3x + 14)+(5x - 2)=10x-18$.
Step2: Simplify the left - hand side of the equation
Combining like terms, $3x+5x + 14-2=8x + 12$. So, $8x + 12=10x-18$.
Step3: Solve for $x$
Subtract $8x$ from both sides: $12 = 10x-8x-18$, which simplifies to $12 = 2x-18$. Then add 18 to both sides: $12 + 18=2x$, so $30 = 2x$. Divide both sides by 2, and we get $x = 15$.
Step4: Find the measure of each angle
$m\angle CDF=3x + 14=3\times15+14=45 + 14=59^{\circ}$.
$m\angle FDE=5x - 2=5\times15-2=75 - 2=73^{\circ}$.
$m\angle CDE=10x-18=10\times15-18=150 - 18=132^{\circ}$.

$m\angle CDE=132^{\circ}$
Problem 7
Let $m\angle NMP=x$. Then $m\angle LMP=x + 11$.
Since $\angle LMP+\angle NMP=\angle NML$ and $\angle NML = 137^{\circ}$, we have the equation $x+(x + 11)=137$.
Combining like terms gives $2x+11 = 137$.
Subtract 11 from both sides: $2x=137 - 11=126$.
Divide both sides by 2: $x = 63$.
So, $m\angle NMP=63^{\circ}$ and $m\angle LMP=63 + 11=74^{\circ}$.
