Answer is y= 22

Step by step

We know the triangle dum is equal to 180

One angle is 40, so 180 - 40 = 140

The two angles labeled x are congruent, so 140 / 2 = 70.

X = 70

Now the supplement angle of x and 5y = 180 degrees.

70 + 5y = 180

Subtract 70 from both sides to isolate y

70 - 70 + 5y = 180 - 70
Simplify

5y = 110

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for y

5/5 y = 110/5

y = 22
