Answer 1

x = 68

y = 112

Explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle add to 180º.

Using this knowledge, we can solve for x:

52º + 60º + xº = 180º

↓ subtract 52º and 60º from both sides

xº = 180º - 52º - 60º

xº = 68º

x = 68

The interior and corresponding exterior angles of a triangle are supplementary (they add to 180º).

Using this knowledge, we can solve for y:

xº + yº = 180º

↓ substitute for solved x-value

68º + yº = 180º

↓ subtract 68º from both sides

yº = 112º

y = 112

Answer 2

C. x=68 and y=112

Explanation:

We can find that x=68 by adding 52 and 60 together which would get us 112. Then subtracting 112 from from 180 leaving us with our sum of 68, which means x=68. Then we find the value of y by adding the two interior angles on the opposite sides of the triangle. So 52+60=112. This makes y=112.
