Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Set the measures of the two opposite angles equal and solve for x.

5x - 20 = 2x + 43

3x = 63

x = 21

Set the sum of two adjacent angles equal to 180.

5x - 20 + 4y - 5x = 180

-20 + 4y = 180

4y = 200

y = 50
