Plz answer!! thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

60° + (2x + 7y)° = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

So 2x + y would be equal to 60°

60° + (2x + 7y)° = 180° subtract 60 from both sides

2x + 7y = 120 and

2x + y = 60 multiply second equation by -1 and it will be -2x -y = -60 now add it to first equation

2x + 7y -2x - y = 120 - 60 -2x will eliminate 2x

6y = 60 divide both sides by 6

x = 10

if 2x + y = 60 the we need to replace x with the value we found

2×10 + y = 60

y = 40
