If angle 2 = 7x + 7, angle 3 = 5y, and angle 4 = 140, find the values of x and y.

Final answer:

Without the specific geometric context or additional equations, we cannot solve for the unique values of x and y based on the angles provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the values of x and y, we need additional information to establish a relationship between the angles given. Usually, these types of problems are contextualized within a geometric figure such as a triangle, straight line, or intersecting lines. Without this context, we cannot provide a unique solution for x and y. For instance, if angles 2, 3, and 4 are part of a triangle, their sum would be 180 degrees, and we could write the equation 7x + 7 + 5y + 140 = 180, and solve for one variable in terms of the other and vice versa. However, without such a relationship, it's impossible to solve for exact values of x and y.

I'm not to sure but this is what I got....

1. 2=7x+7

-7 -7

-5/7= 7x/7 What you do to one side you always do to the other.

x = -5/7


2. 3/5 = 5y/5

y = 3/5


Hope it helped! : )
