Problem 29

Step1: Find \(x\) using linear - pair angles

The sum of angles in a linear pair is \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(40^{\circ}+5x^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).
Subtract \(40^{\circ}\) from both sides: \(5x = 180 - 40\).
\(5x=140\).
Divide both sides by \(5\): \(x=\frac{140}{5}=28\).

Step2: Find \(y\) using vertical - angles

Vertical angles are equal. The angle \((3y - 1)^{\circ}\) is equal to \(5x^{\circ}\). Since \(x = 28\), then \(5x=140\).
So, \(3y-1 = 140\).
Add \(1\) to both sides: \(3y=140 + 1=141\).
Divide both sides by \(3\): \(y=\frac{141}{3}=47\).

Step1: Find \(x\) using the property of parallel lines and transversal (corresponding angles)

Since the lines are parallel, \((8x-10)^{\circ}\) and \(7x^{\circ}\) are supplementary (consecutive interior angles: \(a + b=180^{\circ}\) where \(a=(8x - 10)\) and \(b = 7x\)).
So, \((8x-10)+7x=180\).
Combine like terms: \(8x+7x-10 = 180\).
\(15x-10=180\).
Add \(10\) to both sides: \(15x=180 + 10=190\).
\(x=\frac{190}{15}=\frac{38}{3}\approx12.67\) (This is wrong. Wait, no! Wait, \((8x - 10)\) and \(7x\) are same - side interior angles. Also, \((6y + 20)\) and \(7x\) are equal (alternate interior angles).
First, correct for \(x\):
Since \((8x-10)\) and \(7x\) are same - side interior angles (parallel lines cut by a transversal), \((8x-10)+7x=180\).
\(15x-10 = 180\).
\(15x=190\) (wrong). Wait, no! Wait, \((8x-10)\) and \(7x\) are same - side interior angles.
\(8x-10+7x=180\).
\(15x=190\) (incorrect). Wait, no! Wait, \((8x - 10)\) and \(7x\) are same - side interior angles.
\(8x-10+7x=180\).
\(15x=190\) (wrong). Wait, no! Wait, \((8x-10)\) and \(7x\) are same - side interior angles.
