Question

what is the value of y in the parallelogram below?

Answer 1

I forget the name of the Theorem
but it was that the same side interior angles between two parallel lines adds up to 180 degrees
so you can get 6y+5+73 = 180 and solve for y from there :)

Answer 2

So would y= 96?

Answer 3

hmmm not quite :)
6y+5+73 = 180 add like terms
6y + 78 = 180 subtract 78 from both sides
-78 -78
6y = 102 then divide both sides by 6

Answer 4

Ok! i got confused but then realized i didnt plug in 96 in the equation and of course that wouldnt work thank you!

Answer 5

You're Welcome :)
I'm glad I could help ^_^
