Question

How do you find the value of x and y?

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`5x+70=24x-25\implies 70=19x-25\implies 95=19x \\\\\\ \cfrac{95}{19}=x\implies \boxed{5=x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 4y+2=x+y\implies 4y+2=5+y\implies 3y+2=5 \\\\\\ 3y=3\implies y=\cfrac{3}{3}\implies \boxed{y=1} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{5(5)+70}{\measuredangle R=95^o}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{24(5)-25}{\measuredangle C=95^o}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{4(1)+2}{QR=6}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{5+1}{BC=6}`
