Answer:

(45,60)

Explanation:

in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal measure

2x-10 = y + 20

angles that lie on the same line add up to 180, since alternate angles of parallel lines and a transversal are equivalent

2x + 10 + 2x - 10 = 180

solving the equation with only Xs

4x = 180

x = 180/4 = 45

plug x = 45 into x and y equation

90-10 = y+ 20

80 = y + 20

y = 80-20 = 60
