Answer:
x + y = 75
Explanation:
2x - 5 and 75 are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180° , that is
2x - 5 + 75 = 180
2x + 70 = 180 ( subtract 70 from both sides )
2x = 110 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 55
Then
2x - 5 = 2(55) - 5 = 110 - 5 = 105
2x - 5 and 4y + 25 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, so
4y + 25 = 105 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
4y = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 20
Then x + y = 55 + 20 = 75
