We know that m ║ n.

Let's first find the value 'x'.

When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.

This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.

Equating them,

5x + 16 = 7x + 4

16 - 4 = 7x - 5x

12 = 2x

x = 12/2

x = 6°

Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.

5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.

7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.

Now let's find the value of 'y'.

If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.

This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.

Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:

(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°

Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.

(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°

y + 6 + 46° = 180

y + 52° = 180°

y = 180° - 52°

y = 128°

Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.

Hope it helps. :)

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

20 has been added to the total of scores, so the new mean for the 20 scores will be 20/20 = 1 higher than it was.

The new population mean is 15+1 = 16.
