Question

HELP ME!! FIND X AND Y.

Answer 1

x = 26

y = 72°

Explanation:

Finding x:

• Alternates angles are equal.

(4x - 16)° = (3x + 10)°

Subtract 3x to both sides

4x - 3x - 16 = 10

x - 16 = 10

Add 16 to both sides

x = 10 + 16

x = 26

Finding y:

• Angles on a straight lines add up to 180 degrees.

(4x - 16)° + y° = 180°

4x - 16 + y = 180

4(26) - 16 + y = 180

104 - 16 + y = 180

88 + y = 180

Subtract 88 to both sides

y = 180 - 88

y = 72°
