Question

Find the value of x and the value of y.
A.x = 10, y = 130
B.x = 65, y = 10
C.x = 65, y = 130
D.x = 130, y = 10

Answer 1

Well you know all three lines are parallel. Use what you know about corresponding angles to solve.

Answer 2

i already tried and got 20. xD it wasnt even close to being an option

Answer 3

Alright, then break it apart.
We know that a line is 180 degrees.
You have parallel lines.
So because one angle is 40 degrees,
you need to find x and y when it gives you 2x+y=140 degrees

Answer 4

ok i kno the lines are 180 the angles are 40 and 60.

Answer 5

im stuck. u.u

Answer 6

keep getting the wrong answers to everything.

Answer 7

40+60=100
You're still missing 80 degrees so they aren't the right angles to use together.
You solving for 140 degrees and 120 degrees.
2x+y=140
and
2x-y=120

Answer 8

do i solve for x? or y?

Answer 9

Both

Answer 10

i cant without knowing one of them first, to get the other. o:

Answer 11

thats where i get the wrong numbers.

Answer 12

Look at it like a system of equations.
Use the elimination process to find either x or y

Answer 13

i just dont get it. Sorry! But i have to move on from here.
