Math Problem Statement

a transcersal goes throw two lines. the top right interior angle is (8x-10)°. the bottom right interior angle is (6y+20)°. the left of the transversal exterior bottom left is 7x° find the variables

Solution

In this problem, you have a transversal intersecting two lines, and you're given three angles:

  1. Top right interior angle = (8x10)(8x - 10)^\circ
  2. Bottom right interior angle = (6y+20)(6y + 20)^\circ
  3. Bottom left exterior angle = 7x7x^\circ

Step 1: Identify relationships between angles

  • Corresponding angles: The top right interior angle and bottom right interior angle are corresponding angles. If the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are equal. Thus, we set: 8x10=6y+208x - 10 = 6y + 20
  • Exterior and Interior angles: The bottom left exterior angle and the bottom right interior angle are supplementary because they form a linear pair (on opposite sides of the transversal). Supplementary angles add up
