Answer:

Explanation:

4 angles in a quadrilateral (sorry if i spelled that wrong) add up to 360

So we have : 11x+4 + 5y +5 +5x + 13y - 5 = 360

Then, we simplify as 16x + 4 + 18y = 360
=> 16x + 18y = 356
Divide both side by 2

8x + 9y = 178

So, x is a multiple of 8 and y is a multiple of 9

Then if we keep replacing, you will eventually come to an answer of y = 10 and x = 11

Hope it helps :)
