Answer:

x = 72

y = 15

Explanation:

m and n are parallel lines so we can write the following equation:

108 + x = 180 because these angles are supplementary

if we subtract 108 from both sides

x = 72 we can also write the following equation:

5y - 3 = x because these are alternate angles

5y - 3 = 72 add 3 to both sides

5y = 75 divide both sides by 5

y = 15
