Question

Find the value of x and the value of y. A.x = 15, y = 10 B.x = 20, y = 50 C.x = 50, y = 10 D.x = 50, y = 20

Answer 1

X = 50

Explanation:

(5x - 100) + (x - 20) = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is = 180)

5x + x -100 -120 = 180

6x - 120 = 180

6x = 180 + 120

6x = 300

x = 300/6

x = 50

For y

3y + y + 140 = 180

4y = 180 -140

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10
