Since lines x and y are parallel, their corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore, we can set the expressions for the angles equal to each other and solve for x:
4y + 18 = x + 24
Subtracting 18 from both sides, we get:
4y = x + 6
Subtracting x from both sides, we have:
4y - x = 6
Therefore, the equation for line y is 4y - x = 6.
Lines x and y are parallel but the figure is not drawn to scale.
Line x: (4y+18)°
Line y: (x+24)°
