Question

Solve for x and y. (Geometry) Can you also show the steps of how u did it

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 10

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the U theorem the sum of these two angles 120+2x+y = 180

same goes for the bottom part too:

2x-y+140 = 180 now add two equations up

120+2x+y + 2x-y+140 = 180 + 180 add like terms (-y will eliminate +y)

4x + 260 = 360 subtract 260 from both sides

4x = 100 divide both sides by 4

x = 25 since the sum of 2x-y+140 = 180 we can find the value of y by replacing x with 25

2*25 - y + 140 = 180

50 - y + 140 = 180 add like terms

190 - y = 180 subtract 190 from both sides

-y = -10 and y = 10
