Question

If 2x - 3y = 16°
find value of
of x and y . ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 131.5

y = 48.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given line is a straight line, the sum of the angles (x and y) will be 180

Therefore we have two equations:

x + y = 180  ==========> (1)

2x - 3y = 16 =============> (2)

from (1)

x = 180 - y ========> (3)

subs (3) in (1)

2(180 - y) - 3y = 16

360 -2y - 3y = 16

-5y = -244

y = 48.5 --—--—--—--—--—-> (4)

on subs (4) in (1)

48.5 +x = 180

x = 131.5
