Answer:The example equation becomes "x + 10 - 15x = 20," which is then "-14 x + 10 = 20." Subtract 10 from each side, divide by 14 and you have end up with x = -10/14, which simplifies to x = -5/7. Plug in the x value in to the first equation to find out the y value. y = 2 - 3(-5/7) becomes 2 + 15/7, which is 29/7

Answer:

x°=50°

y°=80°

Explanation:

The angle measure of a triangle is equal to 180°.

To find the value of x, add the two known values of the larger triangle, then subtract that from 180.

95+35=130

180-130=50°

So x= 50°

Then substitute that value of x into the smaller triangle. Add the two known values, and subtract that from 180 to find the value of y.

50+50=100

180-100=80°

So y =80°
