Question 939781: Given ST bisects angle RSV
m of angle RST =2x+3y
m of angle TSV = 3x-y+2
m of angle RSV = 80 degrees
Find x and y.
I am not sure how y and x separate ? please help! can you show me how to do this?

if bisects angle means divides angle into two equal parts, angle and angle
it means <= <+ <
if <
<

< degrees
and if <= <+ <, then
< ........eq.1
< ......eq.2
-----------------------------------------------
solve the system:
........eq.1
......eq.2....both sides multiply by
-----------------------
........eq.1
......eq.2.
------------------------------------add







go to ......eq.2 substitute for and solve for




so, the < and < is:

< => < < => <
< => < => < => < => <
