Answer:
x = 26
y = 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding x:
- Alternates angles are equal.
(4x - 16)° = (3x + 10)°
Subtract 3x to both sides
4x - 3x - 16 = 10
x - 16 = 10
Add 16 to both sides
x = 10 + 16
x = 26
Finding y:
- Angles on a straight lines add up to 180 degrees.
(4x - 16)° + y° = 180°
4x - 16 + y = 180
4(26) - 16 + y = 180
104 - 16 + y = 180
88 + y = 180
Subtract 88 to both sides
y = 180 - 88
y = 72°
