Question

The values are 155 degrees, 5y degrees, and 13x degrees. find the values of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

find the complete question in the attached image

the angle opposite 5y is also 5y. this is because alternate angles are equal

180 = 155 + 5y

5y = 180 - 155

5y = 25

y = 5

the sum of 5y and 13x is equal to 90

this is because the sum of angle on a straight line is equal to 180 and one of the angle on the straight line is already equal to 90 . so, 90 (180 - 90)

5y + 13x = 90

25 + 13x = 90

13x = 90 - 25

13x = 65

x = 5
