Answer:

x= 22

y = 35

Explanation:

The base angles of a isosceles triangle are equal

3x-11 = 2x+11

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x -11 = 2x-2x+11

x-11 = 11

Add 11 to each side

x-11+11 = 11+11

x = 22

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180

3x -11 + 2x+11 + 2y = 180

Combine like terms

5x +2y = 180

5*22 + 2y = 180

110 + 2y = 180

Subtract 110 from each side

110+2y-110 = 180-110

2y = 70

Divide by 2

2y/2 =70/2

y = 35
