Explanation:

29x - 3 + 15x + 7 = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

if we add like terms

44x + 4 = 180

44x = 176 divide both sides by 44

x = 4

29x - 3 = 13y - 17 because alternate exterior angles has same measurement

since we found the value of x let's rewrite the equation

4 × 29 - 3 = 13y - 17

113 = 13y - 17

130 = 13y divide both sides by 13

10 = y
