Answer:

85

Explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles, therefore:

m<ACD = m<A + m<B

120 - x = 10 + x + 60

1) Solve for x:

120 - x = 10 + x + 60

120 - x = 70 + x

Add x on both sides to give:

120 = 70 + 2x

Subtract 70 on both sides:

50 = 2x

x = 50/2 = 25

2) substitute x = 25 to find the angle of m<ACD

m<ACD = 120 - x = 120 - 25 = 95

3) To find out m<ACD(y):

Angles on a straight line add up to 180, so add m<ACD and y and equate to 180 to solve for y

95 + y = 180

y = 180 - 95 = 85
