Answer 1

x= 39 degrees

y= 20 degrees (if incorrect, try 15 degrees)

Explanation:

To get x:

Angle RED and Angle YELLOW are alternate angles meaning they're the same. Then, get y on its own by adding five (or subtracting, sorry I couldn't read it) and dividing by 2. Here you get 20 degrees (or 15 if you had to subtract).

To get y:

Angle RED and Angle BLUE are corresponding angles, also meaning they're the same. This means it is also 39 degrees.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The walls are vertical so the angle opposite X would be a right angle which is 90 degrees.

X would be 180 - 90 - 35 = 55 degrees

X and 2y - 5 are complementary angles which add together to equal 90:

2y - 5 + 55 = 90

Simplify:

2y +50 = 90

Subtract 50 from both sides:

2y = 40

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 20
