1) According to the Vertical angle Theorem

We can state that

50-2x =90-4y

-2x +4y=90

2x -4y = -90

In addition to that, since those three angles make up a straight angle:

2x +3y + x +5y +50 -2x = 180º Combine like terms

x+6y =180º

2) Now, we can set this linear system:

x +6y = 180 x-2 To eliminate x

2x -4y = -90

-2x -12y =-360

2x -4y = -90

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

-16y = -450

16y= 450

y = 28.12

y ≅ 28

x + 6(28)=180

x+168=180

x=12
