Answer:

x is 55° & y is 70°.

Explanation:

This is an equilateral triangle.

In an equilateral triangle all sides are 60°

So,

1) x+5 = 60

x = 55°.

2) y-10 = 60

y = 70°.

Answer: x is 55° & y is 70°.

Answer:

y=70

x=55

Explanation:

In an equilateral triangle, all the angles measure 60 degrees. Knowing this, we can set the following equations:


60=y-10\\60=x+5


60=y-10

Add 10 to both sides


60+10=y-10+10\\70=y


60=x+5

Subtract both sides by 5


60-5=x+5-5\\55=x

I hope this helps!
