Answer:

x = 14

y = 19

Explanation:

( 3x - 6 ) and 48 are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are equal.

So,

3x + 6 = 48

3x = 48 - 6

3x = 42

x = 42 / 3

x = 14

2y and 48 are interior angles of a triangle.

( 5y - 9 ) is the exterior angle of the triangle.

Formula : -

Exterior angle ( of the triangle ) = Sum of two interior angles ( of a triangle )

So,

5y - 9 = 2y + 48

5y - 2y = 48 + 9

3y = 57

y = 57 / 3

y = 19
