Answer:

y = 21°

Explanation:

both are parallel lines, and that means

16x - 23 = 10x + 1

16x - 10x = 23 + 1

6x = 24

x = 4

---------------------------

taking 16x - 23

16 (4) - 23 = 64 - 23 = 41

both angles value is = 41°

------------------------------------

62° + x = 180

x = 180 - 62 = 118°

----------------------------------

the sum of all the angles inside the triangle is equal to 180°

41° + 118° + y = 180°

y = 21°
