Answer:

x = 7

y = 4

Explanation:

Measure of all the angles on right side triangle are equal. So, it is an equilateral triangle.

Therefore,

5y - 4 = 3x - 5..... (1)

Next, measure of two angles in the left side triangle are same, so it is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore,

y + 12 = 3x - 5......(2)

(By isosceles triangle property)

From equations (1) & (2)

5y - 4 = y + 12

5y - y = 12 + 4

4y = 16

y = 16/4

y = 4

Plug y = 4 in equation (2), we find:

4 + 12 = 3x - 5

16 + 5 = 3x

21 = 3x

x = 21/3

x = 7
