Question

What are the steps to finding y?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

We know :-

Angles 27x+4 and 8x+1 sum up to become 180 and angles 8x+1 and y+10 are equal.

... 27x+4+8x+1 = 180

... 35x + 5 = 180

... 35x = 175

... x = 175 / 35

... x = 5

Now,

... 8x + 1

... 8 ( 5 ) + 1

... 40 + 1

... 41

Hence,

... y + 10 = 41

... y = 31

Hence, the value of y is 31.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

set (8x+1) equal to (y+10)

(8x+1)=(y+10)
