Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 60

y = 30

Explanation:

Adjacent angles are supplementary.

(5x -180) +x = 180

6x = 360 . . . . . . . . . . add 180, collect terms

x = 60 . . . . . . . . divide by 6

Opposite angles are congruent.

2y = 60 . . . . . . 2y = x

y = 30 . . . . . . . .divide by 2

The value of x is 60; the value of y is 30.
