the angle 3x-15 and 105 degrees are corresponding angles, so they are equal this means 3x - 15 = 105

40

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since 3x - 15 = 105, this means that we can say this (3x-15) + (y+25) = 180 105 + (y+25) = 180 105 + y+25 = 180 solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so because y = 50, the angle y+25 is 75 (since y+25 = 50+25 = 75)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, i see

The only thing we can say is that all the angles add to 360 degrees, so (96) + (2x) + (3y+44) + (94) = 360 96 + 2x + 3y+44 + 94 = 360 Unless you know some relationship between the angles 2x and 3y+44, you can't find x and y.
