Answer:

x=15, y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite interior angles have the same measure. Hence ...

... 62° = (4x+2)°

... 60 = 4x . . . . . divide by °, subtract 2

... 15 = x . . . . . . . divide by 4

And ...

6y° = 72°

... y = 12 . . . . . . . divide by 6°

Answer: x= 15 and y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure , we have three lines parallel to each other .

We know that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal , then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Also, congruent angles have equal measures.

So , Pair of alternate interior angles have equal measure.

From the given figure ,

62° and (4x+2)° are the pair of alternate interior angles.

Then , $4x+2=62$

$\\\Rightarrow\ 4x=62-2=60$

$\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{60}{4}=15$

Also, 6y° and 72° are the pair of alternate interior angles.

$6y=72\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{72}{6}=12$

Hence, the value of x= 15 and y= 12 .

hi,

first let's count the marbles : 1+3+2 = 6

so picking a red is 1/6

a green is : 3/6

a bleu is : 2/6

How can a ratio's number can be changed without changing the ratio itself

eimsori [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The ratio is a fraction that tells us how many times longer a thing is compared to another thing. In mathematics, we express a ratio as the relationship between two numbers, namely $a \ and \ b$ , so the ratio can be written as:

$r=\frac{a}{b}$

If we can change this number without changing the ration we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For instance, if we have the following ratio:

$r=\frac{2}{3}$
