Answer:

y = 14

Explanation:

∠BCF and ∠EFH are same side interior angles and are supplementary, hence

5x - 66 +2x + 50 = 180

7x - 16 = 180 ( add 16 to both sides )

7x = 196 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 28

∠BCF = 5x - 66 = (5 × 28) - 66 = 140 - 66 = 74

∠ACD = ∠BCF ( vertical angles ), hence

9y - 52 = 74 ( add 52 to both sides )

9y = 126 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 14
