Answer:

1. x = 23

2. y = 14

3. n = 17.5

4. x = 12

5. n = 11

Explanation:

Complementary angles are equal to 90°

Vertical angles are congruent, which means they are equal to each other.

Supplementary angles are equal to 180°

1.

2x - 3 + 47 = 90

Step 1: Combine like terms (-3 + 47)

2x - 3 + 47 = 90

2x + 44 = 90

Step 2: Subtract 44 from both sides

2x + 44 - 44 = 90 - 44

2x = 46

Step 3: Divide by 2 on both sides

2x/2 = 46/2

Step 4: Simplify

x = 23

2.

5y + 12 = 82

Step 1: Subtract 12 from both sides

5y + 12 - 12 = 82 - 12

5y = 70

Step 2: Divide by 5 on both sides

5y/5 = 70/5

Step 3: Simplify

y = 14

3.

4n - 5 + 115 = 180

Step 1: Combine like terms (-5 + 115)

4n -5 + 115 = 180

4n + 110 = 180

Step 2: Subtract 110 from both sides

4n + 110 - 110 = 180 - 110

4n = 70

Step 3: Divide by 4 on both sides

4n/n = 70/4

Step 4: Simplify

n = 17.5

4.

Since m∠XYZ = 110°

3x + 2 + 72 = 110

Step 1: Combine like terms (2 + 72)

3x + 2 + 72 = 110

3x + 74 = 110

Step 2: Subtract 74 from both sides

3x + 74 - 74 = 110 - 74

3x = 36

Step 3: Divide by 3 on both sides

3x/3 = 36/3

Step 4: Simplify

x = 12

5.

5n + 35 = 90

Step 1: Subtract 35 from both sides

5n + 35 - 35 = 90 - 35

5n = 55

Step 2: Divide by 5 on both sides

5n/5 = 55/5

Step 3: Simplify

n = 11
