Question

Find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 1 = 85 (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

2x = 84

x = 42

(3y + 5) + (2x + 1) = 180 (Linear Pair Theorem)

3y + 5 + (85) = 180

3y + 5 = 95

3y = 90

y = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 42, y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are equal so

85 = 2x + 1

2x = 84

x = 42°

Linear pair

(3y + 5) + (2x + 1) = 180

3y + 5 + 85 = 180

3y = 90

y = 30°

So I think the answer is x = 42° and y = 30°.

Hope it helps.
