Question
Use the drawing below as needed to answer the question.
Three lines form 8 labeled angles.
  • Line m and line n appear parallel. Line m is to the left of line n and both lines start at the bottom and go up and to the right. Line k starts to the left of both m and n and travels down and to the right intersecting m and then intersecting n.
  • ∠1 is formed by the top side of k and the top side of m.
  • ∠2 is formed by the bottom side of k and the top side of m.
  • ∠3 is formed by the top side of k and the bottom side of m.
  • ∠4 is formed by the bottom side of k and the bottom side of m.
  • ∠5 is formed by the top side of k and the top side of n.
  • ∠6 is formed by the bottom side of k and the top side of n.
  • ∠7 is formed by the top side of k and the bottom side of n.
  • ∠8 is formed by the bottom side of k and the bottom side of n.
Given:
m ∥ n
transversal k
m∠1 = (3x + y)°
m∠2 = (2x + y)°
m∠8 = (2x + 3y)°
Find:xy, and m∠8 in degrees
