Check the picture below.

so following the inscribed quadrilateral conjecture, let's get those equations that add up to 180°.


(2y+74)+(7x+1)=180\implies 2y+7x+75=180\implies \underline{2y+7x=105} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (2y+100)+(6x-10)=180\implies 2y+6x+90=180\implies \underline{2y+6x=90} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the 1st equation}}{2y+7x=105}\implies 2y=105-7x \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the 2nd equation}}{2y+6x=90}\implies 2y=90-6x\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting from above}}{105-7x=90-6x} \\\\\\ 105=90+x\implies \boxed{15=x}


\stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{2y+7x=105}\implies 2y+7(15)=105\implies 2y+105=105 \\\\\\ 2y=0\implies y=\cfrac{0}{2}\implies \boxed{y=0}
