Answer:
a=39
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set 2x+7 equal to 3x-7 since they are the same angle due to the parallel lines.
2x+7=3x-7
x=14
Then, since 2x+7 and 12y+1 equals 180, put it together to find y:
(2x+7)+(12y+1)=180
(2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180
12y+1=145
12y=144
y=12
So, x=14 and y=12. Your answer should be C!
First, you plug your given values in. Since x is 1.5, it will be multiples by 2x to get 3.2. Since y is -3, it will be added to 1 to get -2. Finally, the two are multiplied together to get -6.4 if I am correct.
