Answer:

x = 18 and y = 11

Explanation:

The angles 6x - 16 and 92 are vertical angles and congruent, thus

6x - 16 = 92 ( add 16 to both sides )

6x = 108 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 18

Angles 8y and 92 form a straight angle and are supplementary, thus

8y + 92 = 180 ( subtract 92 from both sides )

8y = 88 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = 11
