MATH is a square. Find the value of x and y.

x = 6, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles in a square = 90°, so

9x + 36 = 90 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

9x = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 6

The sides of a square are equal , then

7y - 12 = 5y - 2 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

2y - 12 = - 2 ( add 12 to both sides )

2y = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 5

x = 6 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x :

The interior angles of a square is 90°

Therefore ,

                (9x+ 36)° = 90°

                9x + 36 - 36 = 90 - 36              [ subtract 36 on both sides ]

                    9x = 90 - 36                         [ - 36 + 36 = 0 ]

                     9x = 54                                [ divide by 9 on both sides ]

                         x = 6

Find y :

The sides of a square are equal.

Therefore,

              7y - 12 = 5 y - 2

               7y -5y - 12 = 5y -5y - 2               [ subtract 5y from both sides ]

               2y - 12 = 0 - 2                             [ 5y - 5y = 0 ]

              2y - 12 + 12 = 0 - 2 + 12                [ add 12 on both sides ]

                  2y + 0 = 10                               [ -12 + 12 = 0 ]

                     2y = 10

                      y = 5                                    [ divide by 2 on both sides ]
