Answer:

x = 55

y = 20

Explanation:

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°.

Finding x

⇒ 75° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

⇒ 75 + 2x - 5 = 180

⇒ 2x + 70 = 180

⇒ 2x + 70 - 70 = 180 - 70

⇒ 2x = 110

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 110 ÷ 2

x = 55

Finding y

⇒ 75° + (4y + 25)° = 180°

⇒ 75 + 4y + 25 = 180

⇒ 4y + 100 = 180

⇒ 4y + 100 - 100 = 180 - 100

⇒ 4y = 80

⇒ 4y ÷ 4 = 80 ÷ 4

y = 20
