The values of x and y are 15 and 7 respectively
The angles formed from the intersection of two lines at X are equal and vertically opposite angles.
From the figure shown, we can conclude that:
2(5x-5) = 6x + 50 (vertically opposite angle)
Expand
10x - 10 = 6x + 50
10x - 6x = 50 + 10
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x =15
Similarly;
5y + 5 = 7y - 9
Collect the like terms;
5y - 7y = -9 - 5
-2y = -14
y = 14/2
y = 7
Hence the values of x and y are 15 and 7 respectively
