Because this is a regular parallelogram, the angles you are solving for are congruent or equal to each other.

(3y+27) = (5y-3)

Use basic algebra to solve for the values.

27 + 3 = 5y - 3y

30 = 2y

15 = y

Now plug into one unknown angle:

(3(15)+27) = ?

= 72

72 degrees is the value of angle A

To find angle B, simply take 180 and subtract 72 from it.

180 - 72= 108

The value of angle B is 108 degrees.
