Question

Help me solve this please I have 20 minutes

Answer 1

1. x = 6
2. y = 16

Explanation:

The angles that contain the angle "x" are the same.

The angles that contain the angle "y" are the same.

Make an equation and solve for x.

2(3x + 4) = 9x - 10

~Distribute left side

6x + 8 = 9x - 10

~Subtract 8 to both sides

6x = 9x - 18

~Subtract 9x to both sides

-3x = -18

~Divide -3 to both sides

x = 6

Make an equation and solve for y.

2(4y + 4) = 7y + 24

~Distribute left side

8y + 8 = 7y + 24

~Subtract 8 to both sides

8y = 7y + 16

~Subtract 7y to both sides

y = 16

Best of Luck!
