Geometry help!! Check the problem please!!

I have a question that says,

"find the value of each variable"

The problem looks like this:

m(the sign kinda looks like a less than except its more open kinda like an acute angle)BDJ= 7y +2, m(same sign again)JDR= 2y +7

So what I did was this:

7y+2= 2y + 7
5y= 5
y=1

Then I plugged it back into the y in the original problem and got 9 is this correct? If not can you show me the correct way to do it?

I believe you are correct, because you would do:

7y+2=2y+7 (as you did)
7y-2y and 7 - 2
5y=5

And yeah y would equal 1.

And if you wanna check it you just plug it back in:

7(1)+2=2(1)+7
7+2=2+7
9=9

Good Job!

Read the sign you're referring to as "angle"

Angle BDJ = 7y+2
Angle JDR = 2y+7

If Angle JDR is the same size (has the same measure) as Angle BDJ, then you are correct.
