Answer:

Explanation:

18). l║m and a transverse is intersecting these lines.

(11y - 32)° = (6x + 7)° [Vertical angles]

-6x + 11y = 39 -------(1)

(3x - 16)° + (6x + 7)°= 180° [Same side exterior angles]

9x - 9 = 180

9x = 189

x = 21

Now substitute the value of x in the equation (1)

-6(21) + 11y = 39

11y = 39 + 126

y = 15

19). l║m and a transversal is intersecting these lines.

(8x - 14)° + (5y + 16)° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

8x + 5y = 178 --------(1)

(8x - 14)° = (5x + 34)° [Alternate exterior angles]

8x - 5x = 48

3x = 48

x = 16

From equation (1)

8(16) + 5y = 178

128 + 5y = 178

5y = 178 - 128

y = 10

20). From the figure attached,

m∠CAB = (5y - 23)°

Since sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

m∠CAB + m∠ACB + m∠ABC = 180°

(5y - 23)° + (2x + 13)° + (47)° = 180°

2x + 5y = 143 ------(1)

(5y - 23)° = 3x°

3x - 5y = -23 -----(2)

Equation (1) + Equation (2)

(2x + 5y) + (3x - 5y) = 143 - 23

5x = 120

x = 24

From equation (1)

2(24) + 5y = 143

48 + 5y = 143

5y = 95

y = 19
