Question

1. find the value of x and y

a.
b.

Explanation:

Step1: Solve for \(x\) in part a

Vertical angles are equal. So \(2x = 9y - 86\). Also, \(8x+2x=180\) (linear - pair angles).
Simplify \(8x + 2x=180\) to \(10x=180\).
Divide both sides by 10: \(x=\frac{180}{10}=18\).

Step2: Solve for \(y\) in part a

Substitute \(x = 18\) into \(2x=9y - 86\).
We get \(2\times18=9y - 86\).
Which is \(36=9y - 86\).
Add 86 to both sides: \(36 + 86=9y\), so \(122=9y\). Then \(y=\frac{122}{9}\approx13.56\) (This seems wrong, let's check the original equation \(8x+2x = 180\) (correct for linear - pair), and if \(x = 18\), then \(2x=36\). If \(2x=9y - 86\), then \(36+86 = 9y\), \(y = 14.67\) (re - check the hand - written equation, maybe \(8x+2x=(18y + 10)\) (assuming a mis - read).
If \(8x+2x=18y + 10\) and \(x = 18\), then \(10x=18y + 10\), \(180=18y+10\), \(18y=170\), \(y=\frac{85}{9}\approx9.44\) (still not matching).
Assume the correct equation is \(8x+2x=(18y + 10)\) and \(2x=9y - 86\).
From \(10x=18y + 10\) (equation 1) and \(2x=9y - 86\) (equation 2). Multiply equation 2 by 5: \(10x=45y-430\).
Set \(18y + 10=45y-430\).
\(45y-18y=10 + 430\).
\(27y=440\), \(y=\frac{440}{27}\approx16.3\) (wrong).
Let's start over:
If \(8x+2x=(18y + 10)\) (linear - pair) and \(2x=(9y - 86)\) (vertical angles).
From \(2x=9y - 86\), \(x=\frac{9y - 86}{2}\).
Substitute into \(10x=18y + 10\):
\(10\times\frac{9y - 86}{2}=18y + 10\).
\(5(9y - 86)=18y + 10\).
\(45y-430=18y + 10\).
\(45y-18y=10 + 430\).
\(27y=440\) (wrong).
Assume the linear - pair is \(8x+2x = 180\) (correct), \(x = 18\).
If \(2x\) and \(9y - 86\) are vertical angles, \(2\times18=9y - 86\), \(36+86=9y\), \(y = 14.67\) (if the equation is \(8x+2x=(18y + 10)\) is wrong. If we assume \(8x+2x = 180\) (correct for linear - pair) and \(2x\) and \(9y - 86\) (vertical angles)
\(x = 18\), \(2x=36\), \(36=9y - 86\), \(y=\frac{36 + 86}{9}=\frac{122}{9}\approx13.56\) (wrong).
Let's check part b:
For part b, using the property of angles around a point.
We know that \(2x+98 + 50=180\) (linear - pair).
\(2x=180-(98 + 50)=32\), \(x = 16\).
Also, \(y+98=180\) (linear - pair), \(y = 82\).

Answer:

a. \(x = 18\), \(y=\frac{122}{9}\approx13.56\) (assuming \(8x + 2x=180\) and \(2x=9y - 86\)); b. \(x = 16\), \(y = 82\)
