Question

imagine

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a horizontal line with arrows at both ends. Another line with arrows at both ends extends from top right to bottom left and intersects the horizontal line in the center. The intersecting line creates 4 angles. The angle at the top left is labeled x degrees. The angle at top right is labeled y degrees. The angles at bottom left and right below the horizontal line are not labeled.

What is the value of x if y°=71° ?
THE ANSWER IS NOT 71

Since the intersecting line creates a straight line, the sum of the angles on one side of the straight line is 180 degrees. Since the angle at the top right is y degrees, and we are given that y = 71 degrees, the angle at the top left (x degrees) would be 180 degrees - 71 degrees, which is 109 degrees.
