Answer:

y = 70°

Explanation:

4x - 50 and 2x + 30 are equal, because they are corresponding angles

4x - 50 = 2x + 30

4x = 2x + 80

2x = 80

x = 40°

The angle below 2x + 30 = y, because they are vertical angles

Since we know what x is, we can substitute x from 2x + 30

And since two angles that take up a line are 180°, we can add them

2(40) + 30 + y = 180

80 + 30 + y = 180

110 + y = 180

y = 180 - 110

y = 70
