that's the "consecutive exterior angles" the sum of them equal 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know, but i dont completely understand how to do it

OpenStudy (raden):

3x+20+5x+40 = 180 solve for x (assumed ur question find x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me try

OpenStudy (raden):

go ahead :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay i got it, 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait, the answer in my packet says 115

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its wrong?

OpenStudy (raden):

yup the value of x = 15 but, what the original question here :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh we need to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it :) u plug it in

OpenStudy (raden):

okay, take the equation 3x+20+y=180 (it is supplement angles) first, put x=15 then solve for y

OpenStudy (raden):

ah, correct y = 115 deg :)
