Thread: [SOLVED] Help me point out where I got wrong?

In the figure below, if L and M are parallel, what does z equal in terms of x and y?

a) x+y
b)x-y
c)180-x
d)180-x+y
e)180-x-y

Your second diagram is right.

So that would mean that $\displaystyle z+y+x=180$

So what would $\displaystyle z$ be in terms of $\displaystyle x$ and $\displaystyle y$??
