Question

What is the value of x? What is the value of y?

Answer 1

1. x = 45/2
2. y = 10

Explanation:

Both angles that have the "x" variable are the same and both angles that the "y" are the same since they are congruent meaning they are the same angle measure.

Solve for x.

6x - 5 = 8x - 50

~Add 5 to both sides

6x = 8x - 45

~Subtract 8 to both sides

-2x = -45

~Divide -2 to both sides

x = 45/2

Solve for y.

2y + 30 = 3y + 20

~Subtract 30 to both sides

2y = 3y - 10

~Subtract 3y to both sides

-y = -10

~Divide -1 to both sides

y = 10

Best of Luck!
