Answer:

x = 13

y = 132

Step-by-step explanation:

48° and y° are same-side interior angles which means they are supplementary, meaning they have to equal 180° when added.

180 - 48 = 132

So y = 132

48° and (5x - 17)° are alternate exterior angles. So they have to be equal. Meaning when the value of x is substituted into (5x - 17)° it has to give us 48°.

5(13) - 17 = 48

So x = 13
