x =

Answer 1

x = 8, y = 8

Explanation:

So we know angle CAB is congruent to angle ACB so both angles are 69.

Now we add 69+69 and we get 138. Subtract from 180.

180 - 138 = 42.

Now, we set up the equation to 5x+2=42,

subtract two from both sides and get 5x = 40,

divide both sides by 5 and you get x=8.

You can simply plug in x to 5 and add two and still get 42.
