Question

Find the values of x and y using the figure below. Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 11

y = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

5y and (7y - 34) are vertical angles which means they're equal to each other:

5y = 7y - 34

5y - 7y = -34

-2y = -34

y = 17

(8x + 7) and (9x - 4) are also vertical angles:

8x + 7 = 9x - 4

8x - 9x = -4 - 7

-x = -11

x = 11
