Answer:

x = 27, y = 74

Explanation:

Hi again :)

Since the angles of 5x + 4 and the one adjacent to x = 14 are corresponding angles, they are equal. That means that (5x + 4) + (x + 14) = 180 degrees.

5x + 4 + x + 14 = 180

6x + 18 = 180

6x = 162

x = 27

Also, the angle (5x + 4) and (2y - 9) are vertical angles, they are equal in value. We know the value of x now, so we'll substitute that in and solve for y.

5(27) + 4 = 2y - 9

135 + 4 = 2y - 9

139 = 2y - 9

148 = 2y

y = 74

As always, lmk if you have questions.
