Sagot :
From the given figure
∵ There are 2 parallel lines intersected by another line called a transversal
∴ The angles of measures 59 degrees and (3x - 4) degrees are
corresponding angles
∵ Corresponding angles are equal in measures
[tex]\therefore(3x-4)=59[/tex]Now let us solve the equation to find x
→ Add 4 to both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} \because3x-4+4=59+4 \\ \therefore3x+0=63 \\ \therefore3x=63 \end{gathered}[/tex]→ Divide both sides by 3 to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \because\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{63}{3} \\ \therefore x=21 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now let us find y
∵ The angles of measures 59 degrees and (2y) degrees are
vertically opposite angles
∵ The vertically opposite angles are equal in measures
[tex]\therefore2y=59[/tex]→ Divide both sides by 2 to find y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \because\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{59}{2} \\ \therefore y=29.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]∴ x = 21 and y = 29.5
