Visualize the setup of vertical angles. Now, the angle measures allow for this problem to become more difficult. The measurements are 7y-92, y-3, 3x-1, and an unknown angle that is vertical to 3x-1. Are you able to figure out the values of x and y and explain your work? Thank you!
Edit: the y's and x's are opposite from each other...
Edit #2: Take this picture as an example, the measurements are not relative, but the bigger angles are the Y's and the smaller angles are the X's.
Vertical angles are equal soo 7y-92 = y-3 y= 14.833 degrees
All of the angles added should equal 360
7y-92 + y-3 + 3x-1 + 3x-1 = 360
8y - 95 + 6x -2 = 360
8(14.833) - 95 + 6x - 2 = 360
x = 56.38 degrees
Assumig the "y" angles are vertical ...we have that
7y - 92 = y - 3 add 92 to both sides....subtract y from both sides
6y = 89
y = 89/6 = ( 14 + 5/6 )°
So....each of these vertcal angles measures (14 + 5/6 - 3)° = (11 + 5/6)° = (71/6)°
So....the measure of each of the other two vertical angles = [ 360 - 2* (71/6) ] / 2 =
[ 360 - (71/3) ] / 2 = [ 1080 - 71 ] / 6 = (168 + 1/6)° = (1009 / 6 )°
So...
3x - 1 = 1009/6
3x = 1009/6 + 1
3x = 1009/6 + 6/6
3x = 1015 / 6
x = (1015 / 18)° = (56 + 7/18)°
