Question

Can someone Help I’ve been stuck on this

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5, y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

I highly encourage you to follow along drawing the diagram and filling the measurements in as we go along for better understanding.

straight line angles add up to 180 degrees

x) 125 + 12x - 5 = 180

125 - 5 + 12x = 180

120 + 12x = 180

12x = 180 - 120

12x = 60

x = 5

y) vertically opposite angles are equal hence the lower parallel line will have 125 to the left of 12x - 5.

co-interior angles: - inside parallel lines

                              - same side of the transversal

                              - add up to 180

                              -the left of the transversal will have 125 at the bottom and                                                                  55 at the top

having that, 8y + 29 + 55 = 180

8y + 84 = 180

8y = 180 - 84

8y = 96

y = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

x=5

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is

12x-5+125=180

12x+120=180

12x=60

x=5

According to the question

8y+29=125

8y=96

y=12
