Question

Solve for y.



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

So all the angles will have the same value. In a triangle all the angles will add up to 180, so each angle would have to be 60 degrees. So to know Y we need 6x+6=5y+10. So subtract 10 from each side, then subtract 6x from each side to get 4=x

Answer 2

y=10

Explanation:

Since this triangle has equal length sides, it is equilateral and also has equal measured angles. This means that each angle is 180/3=60 degrees.

To solve for y, we can do 5y+10=60. Simplifying, we get

5y=50

y=10.
