Answer:

x = 15, y = 40

Explanation:

∠AEB and ∠AED are supplementary angles, thus they sum to 180°, thus

6x + 3x + 45 = 180

9x + 45 = 180 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

9x = 135 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 15

∠FJG and ∠FJI are vertical angles and congruent, thus

5y - 50 = 4y - 10 ( subtract 4y from both sides )

y - 50 = - 10 ( add 50 to both sides )

y = 40
