OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can try to help

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

@malcolmmcswain

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

a)X=15 Y=12 b)X= 14 Y=11 c)X=14 Y=12 d)x=15 Y=11

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Am I reading this right? 2x+7=12y+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um...sorry idk wut dis is

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

And by that, I mean are those equations both for the same line on the triangle?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

(2x+7), (12y+1) and (3x-7)

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Oh wait, never mind.

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

We're solving for the angles XD

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i think so

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Ok, all we have to do is find which angles are congruent

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Which 2 angles are congruent?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

the (2x+7) and ( 12y+1) i think

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Actually, those two are supplementary, so they add up to 180.

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

no (2x+7) and (3x-7) and yes i got that after i said that so these two

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

so we need to find (2x+7)+(12y+1)=180

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Yup! So, we can set up an equation that 2x+7=3x-7

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Solve for x

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

x=14

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

and y = 12

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

Good job!

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

thank you and i will probably have a few more question

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

I have to go though. Sorry! Good luck with your questions.
