Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the relationships between the angles

The given angles form a pair of vertical angles and a pair of linear pairs. Vertical angles are equal, and the sum of the angles in a linear pair is 180°.

Step 2: Set up equations based on vertical angles

From the diagram:

\( (3y + 11)^\circ = (4x - 22)^\circ \)
\( 10y^\circ = (7x + 4)^\circ \)

Step 3: Solve the first equation for one variable

\[ 3y + 11 = 4x - 22 \] \[ 3y = 4x - 33 \] \[ y = \frac{4x - 33}{3} \]

Step 4: Substitute \( y \) into the second equation

\[ 10 \left( \frac{4x - 33}{3} \right) = 7x + 4 \] \[ \frac{40x - 330}{3} = 7x + 4 \] \[ 40x - 330 = 21x + 12 \] \[ 19x = 342 \] \[ x = 18 \]

Step 5: Find \( y \) using the value of \( x \)

\[ y = \frac{4(18) - 33}{3} \] \[ y = \frac{72 - 33}{3} \] \[ y = \frac{39}{3} \] \[ y = 13 \]

Step 6: Calculate the measures of the angles

\( (3y + 11)^\circ = 3(13) + 11 = 39 + 11 = 50^\circ \)
\( (4x - 22)^\circ = 4(18) - 22 = 72 - 22 = 50^\circ \)
\( 10y^\circ = 10(13) = 130^\circ \)
\( (7x + 4)^\circ = 7(18) + 4 = 126 + 4 = 130^\circ \)

Final Answer

The measures of the angles are:

\( (3y + 11)^\circ = 50^\circ \)
\( (4x - 22)^\circ = 50^\circ \)
\( 10y^\circ = 130^\circ \)
\( (7x + 4)^\circ = 130^\circ \)
