m∠x=90°-31°=59° It is a vertical angle to the angle inside the smaller Δ

3y+4+59=180 These two angles form a straight angle (Line)

3y+63=180

3y+63-63=180-63

3y=117

(3y)/(3) = (117)/(3)

y=39
3y+4=3(39)+4=121°

We can find angle STN through sum of angles in a triangle.
180 - 90 - 32 = 59 degrees.

Therefore, x is 59 degrees because they are alternate angles, indicated by the Z shape.

We can work out angle MNT by sum of angles in a line.
180 - 59 = 121 degrees.

3y + 4 = 121
3y = 117
y = 39
