Answer:

x = 36

Explanation:

The angles 3x - y and 2x + y form a straight angle and are supplementary, so

3x - y + 2x + y = 180

5x = 180 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 36

-----------------------------------------------

5y and 3x - y are vertical angles and congruent, hence

5y = 3x - y ( add y to both sides )

6y = 3x ← substitute x = 36

6y = 3 × 36 = 108 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = 18
