Answer:
x=13
y=14
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that angle JNK is equal to angle MNL. We also know that angle JNK and angle KNL are supplementary.
Knowing this, we can write two equations: [tex]4x-1=3y+9[/tex] and [tex](4x-1)+(2x+6y+19)=180[/tex]. We can solve for y in the first equation. Subtracting 9 from both sides gives us [tex]4x-10=3y[/tex]. Dividing both sides by 3 gives us [tex]\frac{4x-10}{3} =y[/tex].
We can plug that in to the second equation to get [tex](4x-1)+(2x+6(\frac{4x-10}{3} )+19)=180[/tex]. Expanding the second parenthesis, we get [tex]2x+8x-20+19[/tex] which equals [tex](10x-1)[/tex]. We now have [tex](4x-1)+(10x-1)=180[/tex]. Expanding gives us [tex]14x-2=180[/tex]. Adding 2 to both sides gives us [tex]14x = 182[/tex]. Dividing both sides by 14 gives us [tex]x=13[/tex].
We can now plug 13 into the above equation to solve for y. [tex]y= \frac{4*13-10}{3}[/tex] Solving that gives you [tex]y=14[/tex].
