Answer:

x = 8°

y = 6°

Explanation:

Hello!

All 3 sides of the triangle are equal, indicating that it is an equilateral triangle. The rules of this particular triangle say that all angles are equal to 60°.

We can solve for x by setting the equation 7x+4 to 60.

Solve for x

  • 7x + 4° = 60°
  • 7x° = 56°
  • x = 8°

The value of x is 8°.

We can go ahead and solve for y by setting that equation to 60°.

Solve for y

  • 8y + 12° = 60°
  • 8y = 48°
  • y = 6°

The value of y is 6°.
