Question

Find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

2x - 5 = 8

+5 +5

2x = 13

Divide by 2 on both sides:

X = 6.5

Y + 3 = 8

-3 -3

Y = 5

They must equal 8 since all sides are the same.

Answer 2

5 = y

6.5 = x

Explanation:

Since all the angles are the same, you can determine that all the sides are the same lengths.

8 = y + 3

8 - 3 = y

5 = y

8 = 2x - 5

8 + 5 = 2x

13 = 2x

13/2 = x

6.5 = x
