In order to determine the value of y, first find the value of x.

Take into account that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Then, you have:

120° + 20° + x = 180°

Simplify left side of the equation and solve for y, as follow:

140° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 140°

x = 40°

Then, the value of x is 40°

Now, consider that angle x and angle y are supplementary, that is, they add up 180°. Then, you ahve:

x + y = 180°

Replace the value of x and solve for y, as follow:

40° + y = 180°

y = 180° - 40°

y = 140°

Hence, the value of y is 140°
