X=35 y=145

2x+25=3x-10
2x+35=3x
35=x

x+x+y+y=360
35+35+y+y=360
70+2y=360
2y=290
y=145

Answer:

x = 35 y = 135

Explanation:

Well first, we would find that 2x-25=3x-10, because they are vertical angles, and all vertical angles are congruent. Solving for x, we get x = 35. Plugging back in for x in 2x-25 we get 2(35) - 25 = 45

We see that (2x+25)+y has to equal 180 degrees because it's a straight line. We know that 2x+25 = 45 so we substitute that in to get 45+y=180, which gets us y = 135
