Question

16. Find the values of x and y.
(2y + 5)
(5r - 17)
(3r - 11)

Answer 1

(5x - 17) + (3x - 11)= 180 [ Linear Pair ]
= 8x - 28= 180
= 8x= 208
= x = 208/8
= x = 26

3x-11
= 3*26 - 11
=67

Now, we have:
(2y+5)+90+(3x-11)=180 [Linear Pair]

Substituting (3x-11),
(2y+5) + 90 + 67= 180
= (2y+5)+157= 180
= 2y + 162= 180
= 2y= 18
=y = 18/2
=y= 9

Therefore, x= 26, and y= 9
