Question

3. What is the value of x + y?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 50 x = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y first.

We know the line angle 80 and angle 2y-5 is on a 180 degree line.

Now we can do our work:

180 - 85 = 95

2y - 5 = 95

95 + 5 = 100

100 ÷ 2 = 50

2(50) - 5 = 95?

The equation is correct, therefore y = 50.

No we do the same thing for the other angles, 90 and 3x + 55.

Again, 180 line.

180 - 95 = 85

3x + 55 = 85

85 - 55 = 30

30 ÷ 3 = 10

3(10) + 55 = 85?

The equation is correct therefore x = 10.

Thus, y = 50 and x = 10.
