Question

What are the values of x and y? (9x - 19y) (5x - 17) (3x + 3)º X = y =

Answer 1

Answer: x = 10 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the x rule, (5x - 17) = (3x + 3)

If we add 17 to both sides:

5x = 3x + 20

Take away 3x from both sides

2x = 20

Divide by 2:

X = 10

This means that (5x - 17) = (3x + 3) = 33

Since all angles must add to 360, the top angle = (360- (33*2)) /2

(360-66) /2

294 /2

147

This shows that 9x - 19y = 147

90 - 19y = 147

Minus 90 both sides

19y = 57

Y = 3

So, x = 10 and y = 3
