From the given figure, let's solve for the varibles s and y.

Angle 110 and (y - 28) form a linear pair.

Angles on a straight line are supplementart angles and supplementray angles sum uo to 180 degrees.

Thus, we have:

(y - 28) + 110 =180

y - 28 + 110 = 180

y + 82 = 180

Subtract 82 from both sides:

y + 82 - 82 = 180 - 82

y = 98°

To solve for x, apply the corresponding angles theorem.

Angle 110 degree and (5x + 15) are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Thus, we have:

5x + 15 = 110

Let's solve for x.

Subtract 15 from both sides:

5x + 15 - 15 = 110

5x = 110
