Question

I need help with finding x and y. Picture attached below.

Answer 1

And please don't just tell me the answer, I would like to know how you get there. That would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer 2

Notice since the lines are parallel you can say


so those angles are equal

Answer 3

notice that since they are equal then 60 + (2x-y) = 180 and
40 + (2x+y) = 180
so you can solve for x and y from here

Answer 4

So even though it seems like a segment, it's a line and it still = to 180 degrees?

Answer 5

I drew an extra part to the picture


so if that line is extended then those angles must be equal since those lines are parallel
