Solve the following values for x and y 1) (8x + 7) 5y (7y - 34) (9x - 4)​

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles have the same measure, so we can equate expressions for each vertical angle pair:

top and bottom

  8x +7 = 9x -4

  11 = x . . . . . . . . . . add 4-8x to both sides

left and right

  7y -34 = 5y

  2y = 34 . . . . . . . . add 34-5y to both sides

  y = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Additional comment

As a check on the integrity of the problem, we can see if these angles form linear pairs.

  8x+7 = 8·11+7 = 95

  5y = 5·17 = 85

  95 +85 = 180 . . . . . . angle values have the expected relationship
