Answer:

y=110 degrees

Explanation:

background info------

sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

angle of a straight line is always 180 degrees.

-------

you see that x and y add up to 180 degrees

also 30+80+x is 180 cause they are in a triangle

set up equations:

30+80+x=180

x+y=180

----- solve

30+80+x=180

110+x=180

x=70

x+y=180

(70)+y=180

y=110 degrees

30 + 80 + x = 180
110 + x = 180
x = 70

x + y = 180
70 + y = 180
y = 110
