Question

Find the value of x and y

Answer 1

what is the problem?

Answer 2

A. x=15,y=12
B. x=14.y=11
C. x=14,y=12
D. x=15,y=11
Which one?

Answer 3

Start here. Since those two angles are congruent, you could set them equal to each other and solve for x.

Answer 4

ok. now what ?

Answer 5

So, you should now have the value of those angles. The angle 12y+1 and either of those other 2 angles are supplementary. So, now you should be able to solve for y.

Answer 6

What did you get for x?

Answer 7

idk still trying to figure it out

Answer 8

Well, you can't really move on until you do. Did you set those equal to each other?

Answer 9

no, I didn't know had to do tht

Answer 10

2x+7=2x-7

Now move all your constants to one side, and variables to the other. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

i think so, because im not good at geometry

Answer 13

Solving for x isn't geometry, so you're good. ;)

Did you try? I don't hand out answers. Sorry.
