Answer 1

x = 14.5°

Explanation:

A+D = 180°

(8x-11) + (5y+2) = 180°

simplify:

5y + 8x = 189°

5y = 189 - 8x

D = B

(5y+2) = (4x+17)

simplify

5y = 4x + 15

then:

189 - 8x = 4x + 15

12x = 174

x = 14.5°

5y = 4(14.5) + 15

5y = 73

y = 14.6

check:

5(14.6) + 8(14.5) = 189

73 + 116 = 189

189 = 189
