Answer 1

Answer:

x = 17 and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (6x + 3) and (8x - 31) are alternate interior angles, they are congruent.

Therefore, you can set them equal to each other and solve for x.

8x - 31 = 6x + 3

Combine like terms

2x = 34

Divide both sides by two

x = 17

Since (5y + 35) and (6x + 3) are consecutive interior angles, they add up to 180. Plug in 17 for x.

(5y + 35) + (6(17) + 3) = 180

Add like terms

5y + 140 = 180

5y = 40

y = 8
