Answer:

x = 15

y = 60

Explanation:

Angles (x + 50) and (3x + 20) follows corresponding angle theorem.

  • corresponding angles are equal to each other.

-----

⇒ x + 50 = 3x + 20

⇒ x - 3x = 20 - 50

⇒ -2x = -30

⇒ x = 15

The angles (x + 50) and (2y - 5) lies on a straight line which sum ups to 180°

⇒ (x + 50) + (2y - 5) = 180

⇒ 2y + x + 45 = 180

⇒ 2y + 15 + 45 = 180

⇒ 2y + 60 = 180

⇒ 2y = 120

⇒ y = 60
