1. Problem Description

The problem states that quadrilateral ABCDABCD is inscribed in a circle. The angles are given as follows: A=5y\angle A = 5y, B=5x+11\angle B = 5x+11, C=7y\angle C = 7y, and D=8x\angle D = 8x. We are asked to find the values of xx and yy.

2. Solution Steps

Since quadrilateral ABCDABCD is inscribed in a circle, opposite angles are supplementary, meaning that their sum is 180180^\circ. Therefore, we have the following two equations:
A+C=180\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ
B+D=180\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ
Substituting the given expressions for the angles, we get:
5y+7y=1805y + 7y = 180
5x+11+8x=1805x + 11 + 8x = 180
Simplify the equations:
12y=18012y = 180
13x+11=18013x + 11 = 180
Solve for yy:
y=18012y = \frac{180}{12}
y=15y = 15
Solve for xx:
13x=1801113x = 180 - 11
13x=16913x = 169
x=16913x = \frac{169}{13}
x=13x = 13

3. Final Answer

x=13x = 13
y=15y = 15
