Hint : vertical angles are congruent

pooja195 (pooja195):

Right but the part im confused on is do i add or subtract? :/ (8x+7) + (9x-4) <---right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"congruent" means "equal"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(8x+7) and (9x-4) are the measures of vertical angles, so they are congruent/equal : \[8x+7 = 9x-4\] solve \(x\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

x=11 right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yep!

pooja195 (pooja195):

And then i would to the same thing with y right? :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Exactly!

pooja195 (pooja195):

Thank you soo much! :D
