Question

Find the value of X and y from the figure​

Answer 1

x = 65, y = 115

Explanation:

x and 2x - 15 are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

2x - 15 + x = 180

3x - 15 = 180 ( add 15 to both sides )

3x = 195 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 65

y and 2x - 15 are congruent ( alternate angles ), thus

y = 2x - 15 = 2(65) - 15 = 130 - 15 = 115

Answer 2

180° = x + (2x -15)

180°=3x-15

3x = 195

x =65°

x + y = 180°

65+ y= 180°

y = 115°
