Find the values of x and y?

Answer 1

legit responses please no pointing to x and saying there it is -_-

Answer 2

Re-post, but this time draw it clearly.

Answer 4

Okay, okay, lets see what we got here.

Answer 5

Is this an FLVS final?

Answer 6

i) As the two rays forming 74° and (x - 1)° are parallel, corresponding angles equal;
==> x - 1 = 74; so x = 75°

ii) Then the 3 angles, (x - 1)°, 40° & (y - 2)° sums up to 180°, as they from straight line.
So, (x - 1) + 40 + (y - 2) = 180
Substituting x = 75 and solving y = 68°

Thus x = 75° and y = 68°
Choice - B

Answer 7

Well, you know that\[(x-1)+40+(y-2)=x+y+37=180\]

Looking at the answers though, you know you can immediately throw out the last two (they don't add up to the right number).

So it's just a matter of figuring out if x=68 and y=75, or if x=75 and y=68.

But if you look at the figure, you see that two of the lines are parallel. By the interior angles theorem you know that the corresponding angles must be equal.

And you see that 74 must be congruent to (x-1), so x must be 75. Thus the answer is the second one.

Answer 8

Aylin, LOL XD We said the same thing within' seconds.

Answer 9

Since it's MC I would be lazy and guess and check lol.
