Question

Two lines intersect at a point that is also a vertex of an angle. Write and solve equations to determine the values of x and y

Answer 1

x = 30°, y = 39°

Explanation:

53 + 58 + y + x = x + 150

=> 53 + 58 + y = 150

=> y = 150 - 53 - 58

=> y = 39°

x + 150 = 180

=> x = 180 - 150 = 30°
