Question 99507: Help please! :-)
measure of angle 1 is (3y+4) degrees, measure of angle 2 is (6x+20) degrees, and measure of angle 3 is (3x+y+3) degrees. Solve for x and y, then find the real measure of angle 2. Hint: angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles.

-------------
If angle 1 and 3 are vertical angles,
3y+4 = 3x+y+3
3x-2y=1
---------------
Comment: Without information on another angle or a second
equation in x and y the problem cannot be answered.
