Question

Pls help!I have trouble with this but ik everything is supposed to add up to 360 degrees

Answer 1

Because each of these angles are 90 degrees, we know they're each equal to each other.

Let's find the value of the variable y first.

We can use 5y - 17 = 2y + 50 to find the value of y.

5y - 17 = 2y + 50

-2y from both sides

3y - 17 = 50

+17 to both sides

3y = 67

Divide both sides by 3

y = 22.33

Now we need to find the value of x.

x + 44 = 7x - 248

-x from both sides

44 = 6x - 248

+248 to both sides

292 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6

x = 48.67

And there's your variables.

y = 22.33

x = 48.67
