Question

I need help really badly please

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of a linear pair total 180°.

__

  (2y +1)° +(5y -3)° = 180° . . . . the sum of the angles is 180°

  7y -2 = 180 . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

  7y = 182 . . . . . . . . add 2

  y = 26 . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

_____

Additional comment

The angle measures are (2(26) +1)° = 53°, and (5(26) -3)° = 127°. These total 180°, as they should.
