Find the values of < and y.
(8x + 7)
5yº
(7y -- 34)
= (2x - 4)^

Answer:
x = 11
y = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that opposite angles (or vertical angles) are equal.
So
8x + 7 = 9x - 4
Subtract 8x from both sides of the equation
8x - 8x + 7 = 9x - 8x - 4
7 = x - 4
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
7 + 4 = x - 4 + 4
11 = x
Looking at the other 2 angles,
5y = 7y - 34
Subtract 7 y from both sides of the equation
5y - 7y = 7y - 7y - 34
-2y = -34
Divide both sides by -2
-2y/-2 = -34/-2
y = 17
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
8x + 7 = 9x - 4 {Add 4 to both sides}
8x + 7 + 4 = 9x
8x + 11 = 9x {Subtract 8x from both sides}
11 = 9x - 8x
x = 11
7y - 34 = 5y {Add 34 to both sides}
7y = 5y + 34 {Subtract 5y form both sides}
7y - 5y = 34
2y = 34 {Divide both sides by 2
y = 34/2
y =17
