AZ:

okay so which angles are equal to each other and which angles add up to 180

boredfr:

(9x+42) is equal to (15x)? and (9x+42)+(4y-13)=18-?

AZ:

exactly! (I know you meant to write 180) so first solve for x 9x + 42 = 15x

AZ:

you then plug whatever x-value you get into (9x+42)+(4y-13)=180 and solve for y

@AZ this isn't my work, but since I saw u working it out I started 2 work it out to learn something lol.

AZ:

did you learn anything? :) If you have two parallel lines that gets cut by a line going through it, then you'll get two angles 'a' and 'b' and a + b = 180 |dw:1616970078822:dw|

smurfofficial:

the slope of A is equal

AZ:

we're calculating angles here- not slopes but yes the slopes of parallel lines would be equal

smurfofficial:

is it 35?

smurfofficial:

wait no is it a^4 b^4

AZ:

no, a would be a number and all the angles that have 'a' written by it would be equal to each other same thing for 'b' and the angles 'a' and 'b' add up to 180 since they're supplementary

smurfofficial:

confuse :/

ask your own question and I can try explaining it over there, let's not de-rail this post any more
