(2y+30)+(2x+10) = 120
(2y+30)+(2x+10) = 120

2y+30 = 60
2y+30 = 60

(2x+10) − (2y+30)=120
(2x+10) − (2y+30)=120

2y+30 = 120
2y+30 = 120

Let's solve the equation step by step to determine the value of \( y \).

Starting with the first equation you provided:

\[ (2y + 30) + (2x + 10) = 120 \]

We can simplify this to:

\[ 2y + 30 + 2x + 10 = 120 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2y + 2x + 40 = 120 \]

Subtract 40 from both sides:

\[ 2y + 2x = 80 \]

At this point, you mention:

\[ 2y + 30 = 60 \]

From this, we can solve for \( y \):

\[ 2y = 60 - 30 \]

\[ 2y = 30 \]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

\[ y = 15 \]

So, the value of \( y \) is:

\[ y = 15 \]

Next, if Angle \( 2y + 30 \) has a measure, we can substitute \( y \) back into the expression \( 2y + 30 \):

\[ 2(15) + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60 \]

Therefore, the final answer is:

  • \( y = 15 \)
  • Angle \( 2y + 30 \) has a measure of \( 60 \) degrees.
