Answer:

Y ≈ 47.47°

Explanation:

The exterior angle (W) is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles (X, Y). Since X=Y, we have ...

W = X + Y

W = X +X = 2X . . . . substitute X for Y

17x +18.2 = 2(5x +24.9)

17x +18.2 = 10x +49.8 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

7x = 31.6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 18.2

x = 4 18/35 ≈ 4.51 . . . . . divide by 7

Then the values of angle y is ...

Y = 5x +24.9 ≈ 5(4.5143) +24.9

Y ≈ 47.47°

_____

Additional comment

Angle X is the same as angle Y, 47.47°. Angle W will be twice this, 94.94°, and angle Z will be the supplement of this value, 85.06°.
