Answer:
x=14, y=37
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that (4y-10)° and 3x° are supplementary angles, meaning the total sum of the angles add up to 180°. (4y-10)° is also corresponding to the blank angle below (9x+12)°, making it a vertical angle. Since (4y-10)°=(9x+12)° because they are vertical angles, then that means we can solve for x:
Original Equation: (4y-10)°+3x°=180
New Equation: (9x+12)°+3x°=180
9x+12+3x=180
12x+12=180
12x=168
x=14
So x is 14
Because x=14, then y is:
4y-10+3(14)=180
4y-10+42=180
4y+32=180
4y=148
y=37
So y is 37
