Question

( please help asap ) find the value of x and y

Answer 1

x = 95 degrees

y = 35 degrees

Explanation:

From what we have;

x + 85 = 180

This is because the pair are alternate exterior angles and they area supplementary

x = 180-85

x = 95 degrees

As we can see, x and (5y-55) lie on same straight line which means that they are supplementary

Thus;

5y -55 + 95 = 180

5y + 40 = 180

5y = 180-40

5y = 140

y = 140/5

y = 35 degrees
