Given the following: Choose a value for m∠A (a whole number)? _________________ Find x? Show all work. Can be handwritten or typed. (2 points) Find y? Show all work. Can be handwritten or typed. (1 point) m∠A: _____ m∠B: _____ m∠C_____ (2 points)

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
m<C = [tex] 2x - 10 [/tex]
Let m<A = 70°
Find x:
m<A = m<C (vertical angles)
[tex] 70 = 2x - 10 [/tex] (substitution)
Add 10 to both sides
[tex] 70 + 10 = 2x [/tex]
[tex] 80 = 2x [/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex] \frac{80}{2}= x [/tex]
[tex] 40 = x [/tex]
[tex] x = 40 [/tex]
Find y (m<B)
m<B + m<A = 180° (linear pair)
[tex] y + 70 = 180 [/tex] (substitution)
Subtract 70 from each side
[tex] y = 180 - 70 [/tex]
[tex] y = 110 [/tex]
m<B = 110°
Angle C = Angle A (vertical angles)
<C = 70°
m<A: 70° m<B: 110° m<C: 70°
