Given:
The figure of two parallel lines MP and QS.
A transversal line KL interests the two parallel lines.
To find:
The .
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then the corresponding angles are congruent and their measures are equal.
In the given figure and
corresponding angles. It means their measures are equal.
Therefore, .
Answer:
y = and x =
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve simultaneous equations, you need to have the number in front of both x's or y's the same. (signs doesn't matter)
To get -x to -10x we simply need to multiply the first equation by 10:
-x * 10 = -10x
-9y * 10 = -90y
16 * 10 = 160
-10x - 90y = 160
Now we can add the two equations:
-10x + 10x = 0
-90y + 20y = -70y
160 + 20 = 180
-70y = 180
70y = -180
7y = -18
y =
Now plug into the second equation:
10x + 20() = 20
10x - = 20
Move the over to the other side, making it a positive:
10x = 20 +
10x =
Divide both sides by 10:
x =
So y = and x =
