Question 1123060
the sum of the angles is 160 degrees.


angle 1 measures 8y


angle 2 measures 7y - 50


since the sum of the angles is 160, then:


8y + (7y - 50) = 160


simplify to get:


8y + 7y - 50 = 160


combine like terms to get:


15y - 50 = 160


add 50 to both sides of the equation to get:


15y = 210


solve for y to get:


y = 210 / 15 = 14


the first angle is 8y, therefore it is equal to 8 * 14 = 112.


the second angle is 7y - 50, therefore it is equal to 7 * 14 - 50 = 98 - 50 = 48.


the two angles are 112 and 48.


their sum is 160.


solution looks good.


solution is:


y = 14
angle 1 = 112
angle 2 = 48
