Answer:
X=21 and Y=121
Step-by-step explanation:
With these types of problems, we need to know our vertical angles and that lines are 180° when two angles on a line are next to each other.
To solve this problem algebraically we want to add (3x-4) and (6x-5) together so that they equal 180. The reason we do this is that they lie on the same line which is 180°. The equation would look like [tex]3x+6x-5-4=180[/tex]. We then want to add like terms which will leave us with [tex]9x-9=180[/tex]. Now we want to get 9x by itself by adding 9 on each side which leaves us with [tex]9x=189[/tex]. To isolate x we need to divide on each side by 9 which finally leaves us with [tex]x=21[/tex]
Now that we have the value of x (21) we can now utilize our knowledge of vertical angles (angles that are completely across and equal to one another.) We can find y by doing this equation: [tex]y=6x-5[/tex] and with the value of x found we can plug in the value to get [tex]y=6(21)-5[/tex] which simplifies to [tex]y=126-5[/tex] then to [tex]y=121[/tex].
