Algebra.Com's Answer #431068 by Simnepi(216)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is very much like the last one! \n" ); document.write( "From your description the 2x and the 4y are opposite and therefore, equal \n" ); document.write( "2x = 4y \n" ); document.write( "this means that \n" ); document.write( "x = 2y \n" ); document.write( "Putting this value into the angle on the right you get \n" ); document.write( "(2y+y+10) = (3y+10) \n" ); document.write( "Now cover up the top and left angles to see the straight line.the angles on a straight line sum to 180 degrees \n" ); document.write( "This means that \n" ); document.write( "(3y+10) + 4y = 180 \n" ); document.write( "or simplifying \n" ); document.write( "7y+10 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "which means that \n" ); document.write( "7y = 170 \n" ); document.write( "or y = 24 \n" ); document.write( "this means that the bottom angle on your diagram (and also the top angle as they are opposite and equal) \n" ); document.write( "is 97 \n" ); document.write( "And the left end right angles are \n" ); document.write( "82 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
