Answer:

x = 27 and y = 66.5

Explanation:

First, solve for x: since the 2 angles are supplementary, they add up to 180 degrees, leaving us with the equation (5x+1)+(x+17)=180 -> 6x+18=180 -> 6x=162 -> x = 27

After that, since the lines are parallel, 5x+1 degrees = 3y-14 degrees. We already know x, so we can just plug that in and solve for y: 5*27+1 = 3y-14 -> 136 = 3y+14 -> 122 = 3y -> y = 66.5

Therefore, x = 27 and y = 66.5.
