Answer:

x = 20° and y = 12°

Explanation:

3y + 15° = 5y - 9° ( being opposite angles of parallelogram)

5y - 3y = 15° + 9°

2y = 24°

y = 24° / 2

y = 12°

Now

5x + 29° = 7x - 11° ( being opposite angles of parallelogram)

7x - 5x = 29° + 11°

2x = 40°

x = 40° / 2

x = 20°

Hope it will help :)❤
