In a triangle, the sum of interior angles is 180 degrees. So, to solve for y we can set up an equation for all of the angles

(2y) + (y + 10) + (50) = 180

From there, you can simplify it by combining like terms

3y + 60 = 180

Subtracting 60 from each side

3y = 120

And then dividing both sides by 3

y = 40

Meaning that the answer is D.
