Answer:
- y = 90
- x = 30
- 2x° = 60°
- (y+x)° = 120°
- (y-x)° = 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
Adjacent angles are supplementary, so ...
(y +x) +(y -x) = 180
2y = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
y = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
__
2x +(y +x) = 180
3x +90 = 180 . . . . substitute for y
x + 30 = 60 . . . . . . divide by 3
x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
__
With these values of x and y, the angle measures are ...
2x° = 2(30)° = 60°
(y+x)° = (90+30)° = 120°
(y-x)° = (90-30)° = 60°
