Answer:

x = 20

y = 25

Explanation:

Vertical angles are always congruent, that is a theorem.

Set the vertical pairs equal to each other.

182 - 4x = 5x + 2

The lowest of the two coefficients is 4x, so that will be added to both sides.

4x + 5x = 9x

Simplify

9x + 2 = 182

Subtract both sides by 2

9x = 180

Divide by 9

180/9 = 20

x = 20

Plug in the 20 to get the angle measure.

182 - 80 = 102

the vertical pairs are 102 degrees

There is another theorem that sets the two angles outside as congruent.

So set 4y + 2 = 102

Subtract 2

100

Divide 4, which equals 25

y = 25
