We need x and y

JKLM is a rectangle not triangle

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal

  • JM=KL
  • KJ=LM

Now


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4y+5=2y+35


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -2y=-30


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=-30/-2


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=15

And


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+31=5x-9


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -4x=-40


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=10
