Answer:

y = 6°

x = 19.4°

Explanation:

Use alternating interior angles

The angle adjacent to 5x + 3 is equal to 58 because of alternating interior angles.

58+100+3y+4 = 162 + 3y

162 + 3y = 180

3y = 18

y = 6

The two base angles are equal because the two lines are parallel

5x + 3 = 100

5x = 97

x = 19.4

Hope this helps :)

Have an awesome day!
