Question

What is x= to ? What is y= to?

Answer 1

X and Y both equal to 65, I think.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=85, y=45

Step-by-step explanation:

X

X and 95 are on a straight line. Therefore they are supplementary, or they add to 180 degrees. So,

x+95=180

Since we are solving for x, we must get x by itself. To do that, subtract 95 from both sides

x+95-95=180-95

x=85

So, x is equal to 85 degrees

Y

The angles in a triangle must add to 180 degrees, so

50+x+y=180

We know x is equal to 85, so we can substitute that in

50+85+y=180

135+y=180              Combine like terms by adding 50 and 85

135-135 +y= 180-135       Subtract 135 from both sides to isolate y

y=45

So, y is equal to 45 degrees
