Answer:

The answer to your question is:

x = 21

y = 4

∡ = 75° and 105°

Explanation:

Process

3(x + y)° + 5x = 180 supplementary angles

3(x + y) = 4x - 9 corresponding angles

Expanding

3x + 3y + 5x = 180 (1) Like terms

3x + 3y = 4x - 9 (2)

8x + 3 y = 180 (1)

8 ( -x + 3 y = -9) (2) Multiply by 8

8x + 3y = 180 (1)

-8x +24y = -72 (2) Elimitation method

27 y = 108

y = 108 / 27

y = 4

8x + 3 (4) = 180

8x +12 = 180

8x = 168

x = 21

3(21 + 4) = 3(25) = 75°

5(21) = 105°
