Question

Find the values of the variables:

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 150

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

x° = 5y° (corresponding angles) (1)

x° + y° = 180° (Linear pair angles) (2)

From equations (1) and (2), we find:

5y° + y° = 180°

-> 6y° = 180°

-> y° = 180°/6

-> y° = 30°

-> y= 30

-> x° = 5(30°) = 150° (From equation 1)

-> x = 150
