Answer:

I think the correct answer is 37

Explanation:

You add all the angle measures up together to equal 180 then you combine like terms to get 3y + 69 =180

So you do 180 - 69 then divide that number by 3 to get y

Answer: 37º

Explanation:

If the measure of the angle ABC must be equal to 180º, make an equation adding all the other values and solve for y.

yº+29º+40º+2yº=180º

Combine like terms;

3yº+69º=180º

Subtract 69º

3yº=180º-69º

3yº=111º

Divide by 3º

yº=111º/3º

yº=37º
