X=14
Co- interior angles are supplementary
9x+14+3x-2=180
12x+12=180
12x=180-12
X=168/12
X=14
Y=9X+14 (vertically opposite angles are equal)
Y=9*14+14
Y=126+14
Y=140

Answer:

x=14

y=140

Explanation:

Using (9x+14) + (3x-2) = 180, we can solve this equation.

First add like values giving you 12x+12=180. Then subtract 12 from both sides giving you 12x=168.

Then divide both sides by 12 giving you x=14.

Finally, just simply set 9x+14 equal to y and substitute x for 14. This gives you 140=y

Hope this helped
