Answer 1

Answer: x=11 y=3

.......

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 11, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(13x - 19) and (9x + 25) are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

13x - 19 = 9x + 25 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

4x - 19 = 25 ( add 19 to both sides )

4x = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 11

Then

13x - 19 = 13(11) - 19 = 143 - 19 = 124

(17y + 5) and 124 are alternate angles and are supplementary, thus

17y + 5 + 124 = 180, that is

17y + 129 = 180 ( subtract 129 from both sides )

17y = 51 ( divide both sides by 17 )

y = 3
