In the first one: The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
For the second one: The angles of a triangle add up to 180.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do I take 2x-32=x+40 solve for x
OpenStudy (mertsj):
yes

so then do I take 180-4y divide by 2 to get y
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Add the three angles in the second triangle. What do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6y=180
y=172
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So 6 times 172 = 180?????
OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):
Umm @heather040200 lets try that calculation again. :D
OpenStudy (mertsj):
6y means 6 TIMES y
OpenStudy (mertsj):
