To find the values of \( x \) and \( y \) from the given expressions for angles \( B \), \( G \), and \( D \) assuming that lines \( x \) and \( y \) are parallel, we first need to understand the relationships between the angles.
Since lines \( x \) and \( y \) are parallel, corresponding angles and alternate interior angles are equal.
From the expressions given:
- \( B = 7x + 8 \)
- \( G = 5x + 24 \)
Assuming that angles \( B \) and \( G \) are corresponding or alternate interior angles, we can set them equal to each other:
\[ 7x + 8 = 5x + 24 \]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
- Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides:
\[ 7x - 5x + 8 = 24 \]
- Simplify:
\[ 2x + 8 = 24 \]
- Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[ 2x = 16 \]
- Divide both sides by 2:
\[ x = 8 \]
Now, we found that \( x = 8 \).
Next, you mentioned \( D, x = y = 1y 14 \). It seems there is some misunderstanding or a mistake in that line. However, if we interpret it as \( D = 1y + 14 \), we should find the relationship between \( D \) and the previously found angles \( B \) or \( G \).
If \( D \) is another angle related to \( B \) or \( G \) through supplementary, then:
- Let's assume \( D = 180 - B \) (for example, if \( B \) and \( D \) are supplementary angles):
\[ D = 180 - (7x + 8) \] \[ D = 180 - (7(8) + 8) = 180 - (56 + 8) = 180 - 64 = 116 \]
- If \( D = 1y + 14 \), we can set that equal to \( 116 \):
\[ 1y + 14 = 116 \]
- Now, solve for \( y \):
\[ y + 14 = 116 \]
- Subtract 14 from both sides:
\[ y = 102 \]
Thus, the values are:
\[ x = 8 \quad \text{and} \quad y = 102 \]
