Answer: x= 24 and y= 73

Explanation:


we know

The opposite interior angles are equal and

The angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, that means they add up to 180 degrees.
the sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360 degrees.


So 107 + y = 180

180 - 107 = 73

Y = 73


y is equal to its opposite angle so

X can be found by 73 = 3x + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides

73 - 1 = 3x +1 -1

Simplify


72 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x


72/3 = 3/3x

x=24


Check your work by adding the 4 angles together to equal 360


107 + 107 + 73 + 73 = 360

360 = 360

They equal so your solution is correct
