The angles across from each other equal each other.

3y + 5 = y + 75 (subtract 5 from each side)

3y = y + 70 (subtract y from each side)

2y = 70 (divide by 2)

Y = 35

Do same thing with X.

3x +7 = 5x - 35 (subtract 7 from each side)

3x = 5x - 42 (subtract 5x)

-2x = -42 (divide by -2)

X = 21

Plug in each number to make sure it equals
