Question

In the figure below, j || m. Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

X and 73 are same-side interior angles, which are supplementary (they add up to 180).

x + 73 = 180

x = 107

X and (6y - 79) are vertical angles, which are congruent (have the same measure/value.

x = 6y - 79

107 = 6y - 79

6y = 186

y = 31

Hope this helps!
