Answer:

x = 59 and y = 26

Explanation:

The angles y° and 154° are supplementary angles.

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Therefore we have the equation:

y + 154 = 180 subtract 154 from both sides

y = 26

The angles y°, 95° and x° add up to 180° (on the straight line).

Therefore we have the equation:

26 + 95 + x = 180

121 + x = 180 subtract 121 from both sides

x = 59
