Question 484146: My problem is: find the measure of angel 1, 2 & 3; Given the measure of angle 1 is 2x+40; the measure of angle 2 is 2y + 40 and the measure of angle 3 is x + 2y; This is not a triangle. This is two lines that cross. (When I made up the diagram below it lined up but on the "Preview" it is distorted. Hopefully what you see looks like a cross or plus sign.)
The diagram is below. A simple cross or 'Plus Sign'. With Angle 1 in the upper left quad. Angle 2 in the upper right quad, Angle 3 in the lower right quad and the 4th angle would be in the lower left quad. Below is about the best that I can produce. Hopefully that helps. Once again thanks!!!

Question 485680: Problem:
Angle M and angle L are complementary angles. Angle N and angle P are complementary angles. If angle L equals y-2, angle M equals 2x+3, and angle N equals 2x-y, and angle P equals x-1. Find the values of x, y, angle L, angle M, angle N, and angle P.
I tried making an shape using two intersecting lines and labeling them L, M, N, and P, then putting the equation next to each one. Then I tried setting angle P and M equal to eachother since they are congruent angles. But I am just not sure you are supposed to do it that way.
