Question

Please help me with this answer

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3 y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

for the linrd to become parallel 45x minus 5 and 16x +2 they are the same side interior angles 45x-5+16x+2 is 180 so 61x minus 3 that would equal 180 then u add number 3 to both equaling 180. 61x =183 divide both sides by number 61 that means x equals 3

45x- and 26 y they are both congruent and corresponding angles. 26y what's 45 * 3 -5 equals 130 divide both sides by 26 and then you would get y equals 5 I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, then

45x - 5 and 16x + 2 are same side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

45x - 5 + 16x + 2 = 180, that is

61x - 3 = 180 ( add 3 to both sides )

61x = 183 ( divide both sides by 61 )

x = 3

45x - 5 and 26y are corresponding angles and are congruent, thus

26y = (45 × 3) - 5 = 135 - 5 = 130 ( divide both sides by 26 )

y = 5
