Question

Find the value of X and Y

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 19 , y = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

• 3x+5 and 6x-14 are linear pair angles, they add up to 180
• $(3x+5)+(6x-14)=180\\3x+6x+5-14=180\\9x-9=180\\9x=171\\x=19$
• So angle 3x + 5 = 3 (19) + 5 = 62 degrees
• angle 62 and angle y+8 are corresponding angles, so they are equal
• $y+8=62\\y=54$
