Answer:

Hello!

Judging by the link you provided I have come up with the correct solution:

x= 61°

y= 29°

Explanation:

I will link my work below:

The first step to finding the two solutions it to first identify one of them.

I chose to identify x first.

To identify the value of x in this problem you have to notice that the x value corresponds with the value "29°" to form a perfect right angle, being 90°.

Thus you can simply find the value of x by doing this formula:

x+29°=90°

You then subtract 29° from both sides to simplify, and you come up with the solution

x=61°

Now we need to find the value of y.

To find the value of y I noticed that again, like x, y corresponds with another variable (being x) to form a perfect right angle (90°).

The way I realized this is a perfect right angle is because, as you can see in the picture you provided, the y+x angle are alternate exterior angles with another angle that is 90°.

Thus you can assume that:

x+y=90°

x= 61°

61°+y=90°

You then subtract 61° from both sides to get:

y=29°
