Question

Solve to find x and y.

Answer 1

x = 6

y = 15

Explanation:

6y = 90 because it is a straight line (180) minus the given right angle. 5x + 4y equals to 90 because the two lines are parallel so those two angles are corresponding angles and congruent.

6y = 90

y = 15

5x + 4y = 90

Substitute y with 15

5x + 60 = 90

5x = 30

x = 6

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Answer 2

The values of x and y are:

• x = 6
• y = 15

Explanation:

We know 6y = 5x + 4y = 90°. Now, let's solve.

• => 6y = 90
• => y = 90/6
• => y = 15
• => 5x + 4(15) = 90
• => 5x + 60 = 90
• => 5x = 30
• => x = 30/5
• => x = 6

Hence, the values of x and y are:

• x = 6
• y = 15

Hoped this helped.
