Answer:

x = 6 , y = 140

Explanation:

(9x - 14) and (6x + 4) are corresponding angles and are congruent , then

9x - 14 = 6x + 4 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

3x - 14 = 4 ( add 14 to both sides )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 6

then

6x + 4 = 6(6) + 4 = 36 + 4 = 40

(6x + 4) and y are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , so

40 + y = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

y = 140
