Answer:

  • x = 17
  • y = 9

Explanation:

The two angles marked with expressions in x are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.

3x -4 = 5x -38

34 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 38-3x

17 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

The two marked angles interior to the right triangle are complementary.

(7y -20) +(5·17 -38) = 90

7y = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 27

y = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
