Answer:

x = 120

y = 21

Explanation:

Since j and k are parallel, the sum of x and 60 would be 180 because they are supplementary:

x + 60 = 180 subtract 60 from both sides

x = 120

The measure of x and (4y+36) is equal because they are alternate angles since the horizontal lines are also stated as parallel:

we know x = 120 so

120 = 4y + 36 subtract 36 from both sides

84 = 4y divide both sides by 4

21 = y
