Answer:

C. 55º

Explanation:

A triangle is 180º.

So, 40+y+30+y = 180º Form an equation to solve it. Then combine like terms

70+2y = 180º Subtract 70 on both sides.

2y = 110º Divide 2 on both sides

y = 55º The answer is 55º

Answer:

C. 55

Explanation:

Since all angles in a triangle add up to 180°, we have:

40 + y + y + 30 = 180

2y + 70 = 180

2y = 110

y = 55
