Answer:

(x, y) = (10, 2)

Explanation:

The upper angle marked with an expression in x and y is supplementary to the angle marked 70°. The lower angle marked with an expression in x and y is an alternate interior angle with respect to the one marked 70°, is equal to that. This gives the two equations in x and y:

6x +10y +30 = 110

4x +10y +10 = 70

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

2x +20 = 40

x +10 = 20 . . . . . divide by 2

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

Substituting into the second equation gives ...

4(10) +10y +10 = 70

4 + y + 1 = 7 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

The values of x and y are 10 and 2, respectively.
