Chapter 1.2, Problem 15PSB

To determine

To find: The $y\text{ interms of }x$ .

Answer to Problem 15PSB

  $y=x+17$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A figure is given as below. $\angle 1=\angle 2,m\angle 1=x+14,\text{ and }\angle 2=y-3$ .

  

Calculation:

A figure is given as below.

  

In above figure,

  $\begin{array}{l}\angle 1=\angle 2\\ \Rightarrow x+14=y-3\\ \Rightarrow y=x+14+3\\ \Rightarrow y=x+17\end{array}$

Hence, $y=x+17$ .
