Looking at the diagram, Each division is 90 degrees. We can see the 90 degrees symbol there. Therefore,


17x\text{ + 7 + 9x + 5 = 90}


17x\text{ + 9x = 90 - 7 - 5}
26x\text{ = 78}
x\text{ = 78/26 = 3}

Also, vertically opposite angles are equal.

Therefore,


y\text{ = 17x + 7}

Substituting x = 3 into the above equation,


y\text{ = (17 }*3)+7=58\text{ degrees}
