Answer:

x = 80, y = 122

Explanation:

I got this equation by using vertical angles to create a complimentary angle pair (they sum to 90 degrees).

3/4x+2/5x-2=90°,

23/20x - 2=90°,

23/20x = 92°,

92/(23/20)

20/(1/4)

20(4)

= 80.

Since the angles are a linear pair on the left side(they sum to 180 degrees). Just subtract 180 from 3/4x-2 and substitute x into the expression.

180-(3/4(x)-2), 180-3/4(80)+2 = 120+2 = 122
