Question

What is the value for y?

Answer 1

y=30 This is the correct answer of this question

Answer 2

This triangle has 60 degrees already. Remember that the sum of all triangles have to be 180.
Since we have two y's we can simplify it as 2y + 60 = 180.

We can now set this up as an algebraic equation.

2y + 60 = 180
Subtract 60 from both sides.
2y = 120
Divide both sides by 2
y = 60.

Y = 60, your answer is D.)

I hope this helps!
