Answer:
x = 3, y = 30.4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given diagram;
8x - 3 = 6x+3 (alternate exterior angle are equal)
Collect like terms
8x - 6x = 3 + 3
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3
Also;
8x - 31 + 5y + 35 = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180)
8(3) - 31 + 5y + 35 = 180
5y + 24 - 31 + 35 = 180
5y + 28 = 180
5Y = 180 - 28
5Y = 152
y = 152/5
y = 30.4
Hence x = 3, y = 30.4
