Question

Find the value of x and the value of y.
A. x = 130, y = 50
B. x = 135, y = 45
C. x = 140, y = 40
D. x = 145, y = 35

Answer 1

Answer:

        B.  x = 135, y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

x° + y° = 180°        {suplementary angles}

x° = 3y°               {corresponding angles by parallel lines}

So:

3y° + y° = 180°

4y° = 180°

y° = 45°

y = 45

x° = 3×45° = 135°

x = 135
