Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains two problems, numbered 21 and 22. Both require writing and solving a system of linear equations to find the values of and .
Problem 21:
This problem involves angles formed by intersecting lines.
You are given:
- One angle marked as .
- Two angles marked as .
- Two angles marked as .
Using the properties of angles formed by intersecting lines, such as the fact that vertically opposite angles are equal and the sum of angles on a straight line is , we can set up the following equations:
Problem 22:
This problem involves a trapezoid with given angles.
You are given:
- Two angles marked as and .
- The angles opposite to them are marked as and .
Since the sum of the angles in a trapezoid is and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to ), you can set up the following equations:
