Question

Can you solve x and y please

Answer 1

• x = 12
• y = 125

Explanation:

The upper and lower angles are vertical angles, so congruent:

(5x -5)° = 55°

x - 1 = 11 . . . . . . . divide by 5°

x = 12

_____

The 55° angle and y° are a linear pair, so are supplementary.

y° = 180° -55°

y = 125 . . . . . . . simplify, divide by °
