Answer:

x = 3, y = 30

Explanation:

Since the 3 sides are congruent then the triangle is equilateral.

The 3 angles are congruent and equal tp 60°

Evaluate each of the angles to 60 and solve for x and y , that is

25x - 15 = 60 ( add 15 to both sides )

25x = 75 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 3

and

2y = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 30
