Here, in the given figure. Angle y° forms vertical opposite angle pair with Angle 163°, therefore they have equal values.
that means ~

Hey there!
2/3 = a/30
First: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY the given numbers
2(30) = 3(a)
2(30) = 60
3(a) = 3a
New EQUATION: 3a = 60
Second: DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3a/3 = 60/3
CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 60/3 because that helps you solve for your a-value
60/3 = a
60/3 = 20
Therefore, your answer is: a = 20
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

The linear equation in standard form is
.
<h3>Linear Function</h3>
An equation can be represented by a linear function. The standard form for the linear equation is: ax+b , for example, y=7x+2. Where:
a= the slope. It can be calculated for
.
b= the constant term that represents the y-intercept.
The question gives: X-intercept:3 and y-intercept: 5. Then,
- The x-intercept is the point that y=0, then the x-intercept point is (3,0).
- The y-intercept is the point that x=0, then the x-intercept point is (0,5).
With this information, you can find the slope (a).

The question gives the coefficient b since it gives the y-intercept=5.
Therefore the linear equation is :
.
