Question

Solve for y.



a.10
b.12
c.15
d.18

Answer 1

The answer will most likely be A

Answer 2

If angle ABC is 90°, then angle CBD is 90°:

Angle ABD=90°
3x°=90°
3x=90
Solving for x:
3x/3=90/3
x=30

Angle CBD=90°
(2x+3y)°=90°
2x+3y=90
x=30
2(30)+3y=90
60+3y=90
Solving for y:
60+3y-60=90-60
3y=30
3y/3=30/3
y=10

Answer: Option a. 10
