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
