Respuesta :

we are given

DEF is a line

so, sum of angles must be 180

angle(DEG)+angle(GEF)=180

now, we can plug values

[tex]5x-4+7x-8=180[/tex]

[tex]12x-12=180[/tex]

[tex]12x=192[/tex]

[tex]x=16[/tex].........Answer

vertically opposite angle must be equal

angle(GEF)=angle(DEH)

now, we can plug values

[tex]9y+5=7x-8[/tex]

now, we can plug x=16

[tex]9y+5=7*16-8[/tex]

[tex]9y+5=104 [/tex]

[tex]9y=99 [/tex]

[tex]y=11 [/tex]...................Answer
