of which value of x and y is line p parallel to line q

help please

OpenStudy (nikato):

If 2 lines are parallel and cut by a transversal,, what do we know about each pair of corresponding angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. x=5,y=3 b.x=1,v=5 c.x=3,y=5 d.x=3,y=6

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yes. So we can actually replace the angle with 26y with 45x-5 because they are equal. And now we can set up an equation and solve for x. What is the degree of a line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 16x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The two interior angles, 45x - 5 and 16x + 2 must be supplementary (add up to 180). Write the equation and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. x=5,y=3 b.x=1,v=5 c.x=3,y=5 d.x=3,y=6

OpenStudy (nikato):

So u should set an equation (16x+2)+(45x-5)=180 Do u understand this and y this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how will we get one of the answers though?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Do u know how to solve for x in that equation^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve that equation for x, and tell me what you got. Then we can proceed to find y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 3, correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 16x + 2 angle and the (26y) angle are also supplementary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=6 then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 5, because 26y = 130, so y = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty so much :)
