Question

Find x and y pls help

Answer 1

Answer:

x=14

y=55

Step-by-step explanation:

5x and  110 form a straight line so they add to 180

5x+110 =180

5x = 180-110

5x = 70

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 110/5

x = 14

We know the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles

40 + 5x = 2y

Substitute in 14 for x

40 +5(14) = 2y

40 + 70 = 2y

110 = 2y

Divide by 2

110/2 =2y/2

55 = y

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

110 + 5x = 180

-110 -110

5x = 70

divide by 5 on both sides

x = 14

to find y add 70 + 40 + missing angle = 2y

missing angle is 70 because 70+40+70 = 180

so 2y = 110

y = 55
