Answer:

x = 20 degrees

y = 128 degrees

Explanation:

First, lets solve for x:

3x-8 = 2x + 12

x = 20 degrees

Let's check our work:

60 - 8 = 40 + 12

52 = 52

Now, lets solve for y:

360 - 104 = 256

Why 360? Because 360 degrees = full circle

256/2 = 128 degrees

y = 128 degrees

Why divided by 2? Because there are 2 parts that are equal (y)

Hope this helps! Sorry for the late answer!
