Question 1039231: find the value of each variable I can't copy the picture from the acellus site i will try to describe the diagram as best as possible the diagram shows to rays that cross in the middle and form a large letter X on the left angle of the X is the value Y, on the top angle of the X where the rays intersect is the value x+y+5 and on the right side angle of the X is the value 2x Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y + x+y+5 = 180
:
y = 2x
:
substitute for y in the first equation
:
2x + x+2x+5 = 180
:
5x = 175
:
************************
x = 35 degrees
y = 2 * 35 = 70 degrees
