Answer:
1st pic:
x = 60
y = 50
2nd pic:
y = 8
∠W = 28
∠Y = 128 degrees
∠X = 24
Explanation:
first pic:
to find x, subtract 120 from 180 ⇒ 180 - 120 = 60
to find y, add 60 & 70 & subtract the sum from 180 ⇒ 180 - (60 + 70) = 50
2nd pic:
to find ∠Y, subtract 52 from 180:
180 - 52 = 128
to find y, use the following equation:
3y + 4y - 4 + 128 = 180
combine like terms:
7y + 124 = 180
subtract 124 from each side:
7y + 124 - 124 = 180 - 124
7y = 56
divide 7 on both sides:
y = 8
now we can find angles W and X
∠W = 4y - 4
we know that y = 8 so just substitute 8 for y
∠W = 4 x 8 - 4
∠W = 28
∠X = 3y
likewise, subtitute 8 for y
∠X = 3 x 8
∠W = 24
to check, add all angles and if they add up to 180, then its right:
24 + 28 + 128 = 180
180 = 180
