Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles with measures (5x + 4y)º and 74º are congruent because they form a pair of alternate interior angles between the parallel horizontal bars, so
5x + 4y = 74
The other two labeled angles are also congruent because they are corresponding interior angles that occur between the parallel vertical bars, so
20x + 4y = 164
Then
(20x + 4y) - (5x + 4y) = 164 - 74
(20x - 5x) + (4y - 4y) = 90
15x = 90
x = 6
which means
5*6 + 4y = 74
4y = 44
y = 11
....... shouldn't that be a question instead of an answer? Well, I guess it is what it is, and I understand it thx anyways. (=^\/^=)
Step 1: Isolate the absolute value
Step 2: Is the number on the other side of the equation negative?
Step 3: Write two equations without absolute value bars
Step 4: Solve both equations
