Answer:

20

Explanation:

We know that two vertical angles are equal to each other.

Then

First, We have to solve the equation 5y + 10 = 2y + 16 for y.

After that ,we can easily find the measure of the angles by substituting y by its value in their expression.

SOLVING THE EQUATION :

5y + 10 = 2y + 16

⇔ 5y - 2y = 16 - 10

⇔ 3y = 6

⇔ y = 2

Determining the measure of the angles :

angle 1 → 5(2) + 10 = 20

angle 2 → 2(2) + 16 = 20
