1. Problem Description
We are given a diagram where is a straight line. We are also given the following angle measures: , , , and . The problem asks us to find the values of and .
2. Solution Steps
Since is a straight line, the sum of the angles on one side of the line is . We can write the equation
.
Substituting the given angle measures, we have
.
Simplifying the equation, we get
(Equation 1)
Also, since is a straight line, .
So
(Equation 2)
Now we have a system of two equations with two variables:
(Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
We can solve for and using substitution or elimination. Let's use elimination.
Multiply Equation 2 by 2:
(Equation 3)
Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3:
Substitute into Equation 2:
