Question

Given m is parallel to n find the value of x and y

Answer 1

x = 3

y = 46

Explanation:

8x + 13 and 9x + 10 are alternate angles, meaning, they are equal

8x + 13 = 9x + 10

x = 3

angle on straight lines measure 180°

9x + 10 + 3y + 5 = 180

9(3) + 10 + 3y + 5 = 180

27 + 10 + 3y + 5 = 180

3y = 138

y = 46
