\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

As we know, Sum of all three Angles of Triangle is equal to 180° [ by Angle sum property of triangle ]

So, the required expression is :


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:9y = 180

if you solve for y, you will get y = 20°

And the angles as 100°, 40° and 40°
