Hey!

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

We can use 2x + 7 = 3x - 7 to solve for the corresponding measures.

Let's solve for x:

2x + 7 = 3x - 7

2x + 7 - 2x = 3x - 7 - 2x

7 = x - 7

7 + 7 = x - 7 + 7

14 = x

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

We can use (2x + 7) + (12y + 1) = 180 to solve for the straight angle.

Substitute for x

(2(14) + 7) + (12y + 1) = 180

(28 + 7) + (12y + 1) = 180

35 + 12y + 1 = 180

Now solve for y:

36 + 12y = 180

36 + 12y - 36 = 180 - 36

12y = 144

12y/12 = 144/12

y = 12

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

Now we can solve for all the angles.

(2x + 7) = 35°

(12y + 1) = 145°

(3x - 7) = 35°

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

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
