Answer:

• x = 17
• y = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

In the left problem, you use the fact that the sum of the segment lengths is equal to the overall length.

  AC +CB = AB

  (3x -4) +(x -2) = 62

  4x -6 = 62 . . . . . collect terms

  4x = 68 . . . . . . . add 6

  x = 17 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

In the right problem, you use the fact that the sum of the angles is equal to the overall angle. Here, that overall angle is a linear angle, so measures 180°.

  ∠DFG +∠GFE = ∠DFE

  (5y +3) +(2y -5) = 180

  7y = 182 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 2

  y = 26 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 7
