Answer 1

We know that the angle above 10x + 54 must be 8x because of Alternate angles. And we also know that angles in a straight line add up to 180. So we can infer that 10x + 54 + 8x = 180
We can simplify that into 18x + 54 = 180
Now we take away 54 from both sides to get 18x = 126
Now divide both sides by 18 and we get
x = 7.
Now that we know that x = 7 we know that the 10x + 54 angle is equal to 124 by substituting the value of x in. We also know that 11y + 14 must equal to 124 because of vertically opposite angles. So we have 11y + 14 = 124.

Take away 14 from both sides; 11y = 110
Now divide both sides by 11 and we get
y = 10

So x = 7 and y = 10
I hope that you understood all of my steps and if this did help you a Brainliest would be very appreciated :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=7

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

8x and 11y+14 are same side interior angles so they add to 180 degrees

11y+14 and 10x+54 are vertical angles so they are equal

8x + 11y+14 = 180

11y+ 14 = 10x+54

Substitute 10x+54 for 11y+14 in the first equation

8x +10x+54 = 180

Combine like terms

18x+54 =180

Subtract 54

18x+54-54=180-54

18x =126

Divide by 18

18x/18 = 126/18

x=7

Now we can find  y

11y+ 14 = 10x+54

11y + 14 = 10*7+54

11y+14 = 70+54

11y+14 =124

Subtract 14 from each side

11y = 124-14

11y =110

Divide by 11

11y/11=110/11

y =10
