What is the value of x + y?

OpenStudy (jacksonjrb):

You cannot tell without the numerical values of x and y, otherwise it is fine as it is.,.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Writing the correct equation(s) 2. Showing steps 3. Solving for x 4. Solving for y 5. Solving for x + y

Nnesha (nnesha):

they are vertical angle right |dw:1413937130032:dw| circle equal to circle and square equal to square

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

2y-5=95 Add 5. 2y=100 Divide by 2. y=50

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

3x+55=85 Subtract 55. 3x=30 Divide by 3. x=10

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

x+y=50+10=60

Nnesha (nnesha):

now set them equal 3x + 55 = 85 and other two also equal then solve for y and x after you find you answer then add x and y values then you should get your answer

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Thanks @Nnesha for giving her the introduction.

Nnesha (nnesha):

you can also check your answer by plugging back x and y values into the equation like |dw:1413937375684:dw| so these both side are equal that's mean both side are vertical ( vertical angles are congruent) so that mean x =10 is right answer you can check y too
