Explanation:

Given

5y + 68 = 3y + 96 (vertically opposite angles) and

3x + 18 = 5x + 2 (vertically opposite angles)

Now solve for x.

$3x + 18 = 5x + 2 \\ 3x + 18 - 5x = 2 \\ - 2x + 18 = 2 \\ - 2x = 2 - 18 \\ - 2x = - 16 \\ x = - 16 / - 2 \\ = 8$

Now Solve for y.

$5y + 68 = 3y + 96 \\ 5y + 68 - 3y = 96 \\ 2y + 68 = 96 \\ 2y = 96 - 68 \\ 2y = 28 \\ y = 14$
