Question

Given M ,N find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 59 , y = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 18) and (x - 15) are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180°

2x + 18 + x - 15 = 180 , collect like terms

3x + 3 = 180 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3x = 177 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 59

Then

x - 15 = 59 - 15 = 44

y and (x - 15) are corresponding angles and are congruent , then

y = 44
