Answer:

Explanation:

9x + 20 +7x = 180 {Linear pair}

9x + 7x + 20 = 180 {Combine like terms}

16x + 20 = 180 {Subtract 20 form both sides}

16x = 180 - 20

16x = 160 {Divide both sides by 16}

x = 160/16

x = 10

7x = 7*10 = 70

2y = 7x {Vertically opposite angles are equal}

2y = 70 {Divide both sides by 2}

y = 70/2

y = 35
