Question

What are the values of x and y in the diagram? Use an equation to solve the problem. (the diagram

has 2 different y's, so you need the TOTAL of the y's)

Answer 1

x =35

y=72.5 and the 2nd y also equals 72.5

Explanation:

x=35- it is a vertical angle

both ys + 35 makes a straight line (180)

2y+35=180

2y=145 (subtract 35 from both sides)

y=72.5 (divide by 2)
