7x+3y-1 = 10x -7y+9 as vertical angles

7x+3y-1 + x = 180 as supplementary angles

So, we have system of equations:

7x+3y-1 = 10x -7y+9 (1)

7x+3y-1 + x = 180 (2)

1) Simplify equation (1)

7x+3y-1 = 10x -7y+9 -----> -3x +10y =10

2) Simplify equation (2)

7x+3y-1 + x = 180 -----> 8x +3y = 181

3)

(-3x +10y =10)*8 ------> -24x+80y =80

( 8x +3y = 181)*3 ---------> 24x + 9y = 543

4)

-24x+80y =80

+24x + 9y = 543

89y = 623

y = 7

5) -3x +10y =10

-3x + 10*7 =10

-3x +70 =10

-3x = -60

x=20

Answer : x=20, y = 7
