Answer: x=21, y=8

Explanation:

18y+5=10x-61 ==> 18y+5 and 10x-61 are congruent angle, so they're equal

x+10+10x-61=180 ==> x+10 and 10x-61 are supplementary angles since they're on a straight line(a straight line measures 180 degrees and is called a straight angle), so they add up to 180 degrees.

x+10x+10-61=180

11x-51=180

11x=231

x=21

18y+5=10(21)-61

18y+5=210-61

18y+5=149

18y=144

y=8
