Q:

Solve for x and Y using the angles shown, please helppp

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:x = 6y = 24Step-by-step explanation:(14x + 4) + (16x - 4) <--- you add them because they are supplementary angles and are equal to 180°(14x + 4) + (16x - 4) = 180 30x = 180 [tex]\frac{30x}{30} = \frac{180}{30}[/tex]  x = 6Then you plug in 6 to (14x + 4)(14(6) + 4) = 84 + 4 = 88180 - 88 = 92Now subtract 92 from 180 and make it equal to (4y - 8) to get y.  (4y - 8) = 180 - 92 ---> (4y - 8) = 88                                            + 8    + 8                                          4y = 96                                           [tex]\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{96}{4}[/tex]                                                y = 24
