Answer:

y = 170 -3x

Explanation:

The marked angles are called "same-side interior angles", or "consecutive interior angles" because they are between the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal. Such angles are supplementary.

y + (3x +10) = 180

y = 180 -(3x +10) . . . . . subtract everything on the left that is not y

y = 170 -3x . . . . . . . . . simplify
