Solve for x and y please

x = 20°

y = 19°

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two angles that are in the 2nd Quadrant:

2x - 3

3x - 7

The rule states that the two angles are complimentary angles that form an angle of 90°. So,

(2x - 3) + (3x - 7) = 90

2x - 3 + 3x - 7 = 90

2x + 3x - 3 - 7 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

5x = 90 + 10

5x = 100

x = 100 ÷ 5

x = 20

Another rule applies here, vertical angles are equivalent to each other.

So,

2x - 3 = 2y - 1

2(20) - 3 = 2y - 1

40 - 3 = 2y - 1

37 = 2y - 1

37 + 1 = 2y

38 = 2y

38 ÷ 2 = y

19 = y

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
