Answer:

x = 14, y = 37.

Explanation:

9x + 12 = 4y - 10 (exterior alternate angles are equal)

9x - 4y = -22 ..........A

The angle which is interiorly alternate to 3x is 180 - (9x + 12), so:

3x = 180 - (9x + 12) (interior alternate angles are equal)

3x + 9x = 168

12x = 168

x = 14

Substitute x = 14 into equation A:

9(14) - 4y = -22

4y = 9(14) + 22

4y = 148

y = 37.
