Answer:
y = 139
Step-by-step explanation:
the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
110° is an exterior angle of the triangle , then
3x + 2x - 5 = 110
5x - 5 = 110 ( add 5 to both sides )
5x = 115 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 23
then
2x - 5 = 2(23) - 5 = 46 - 5 = 41
y and 2x - 5 are a linear pair and sum to 180° , so
y = 180 - 41 = 139
Answer:
I got 139
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x-5) + 3x + 70 = 180
Collect liketerms. Take away 70 from both sides and add 5.
5x=115
x=23
2(23) -5 = 41
180-41 = 139
y = 139
