Question

Please use the figure below to solve for both x and y

. Show all Algebra steps in the box below.

Answer 1

x=10°

y = 12°

Explanation:

<TSV = 5x + 4x = 90°

=> 9x = 90°

Divide by 9,

x = 10°

<RSU = 10y + 10° + 5x = 180°

=> 10y + 10° + 5*10° = 180°

=> 10y + 10° + 50° = 180°

=> 10y + 60° = 180°

Subtract 60° on both sides,

10y = 180° - 60° = 120°

Divide by 10,

y = 120° / 10 = 12°
