Answer:

x = 8

y = 30

Explanation:

5x = 40 degrees ( alternate interior angle).

so x = 8

And as the angle adjacent to 40 degrees is 90-50 then

3y = 180 - 50 - 40

3y = 90 degrees

y = 90/3

y = 30

A simpler way to find y is

3y = 90 ( 2 inside angles between parallel lines add up to 180)

so y = 30
