Question 1039633: find the value of each variable the diagram shows two rays that cross each other and form a large X, the left angle has the variable Y the top angle has the equation x+y+5 and the right side angle shows 2x solve for X and Y I don't understand it Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You are missing a piece of information in your description. Look up the definition of vertical angles, and then realize that vertical angles are equal. So with the information given about each of the angles, you can set up two equations and solve the 2X2 system for and . One of the equations you can set up is , but I can't help you with the other equation because you don't mention what is in the bottom angle.
By the way, when you write about math and include mathematical expressions, be very careful with your capitalization. X and x are NOT the same thing, and going back and forth between lower case and capitals on your variables is very confusing.
