9514 1404 393

Answer:

x + y = 60

Explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent.

Equation/Solution for x:

85 = 3x +55

30 = 3x . . . . . . subtract 55 from both sides

10 = x . . . . . . . divide both sides by 3

Equation/Solution for y:

95 = 2y -5

100 = 2y . . . . add 5 to both sides

50 = y . . . . . . divide both sides by 2

The objective:

x + y = 10 + 50

x + y = 60
