Answer:

  • x = 80
  • y = 122

Explanation:

The angles marked with x-expressions are complementary, so ...

(3/4x -2) + (2/5x) = 90

x(3/4+2/5) = 92 . . . . . . . add 2

x(23/20) = 92 . . . . . . . . combine the fractions

x = 92(20/23) . . . . . . . . multiply by 20/23

x = 80

__

The angle marked y° is a vertical angle with the angle that is the sum of 90° and (2/5x)°. So, the value of y is ...

y = 90 + 2/5(x) = 90 +2/5(80) = 90 +32

y = 122
