Question

Find the values of x and y that make k || j and

m || n.



x =
°

y =
°

Answer 1

X = 80*

y = 130*

Explanation:

I got it right on Edge.

Answer 2

• x = 80°
• y = 130°

Explanation:

The interior is a parallelogram when adjacent angles are supplementary. This requires ...

(x -30)° + (x +50)° = 180°

2x + 20 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, divide by °

2x = 160 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20

x = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the angle x+50 is ...

(x +50)° = (80 +50)° = 130°

This is also the measure of the angle marked y.

For the lines to be parallel, x = 80, y = 130°.
