Answer:

y = 2

x = -3.5

Explanation:

3y and (2x + 13) are same-side angles.

that means they are equal

(that's not the real term for it, I just forgot what it's called)

using that, you can make this equation:

3y = 2x + 13

3y - 13 = 2x

(3y - 13)/2 = x

(5y - 4) and 3y are vertical angles.

vertical angles are equal.

using this, you can make the following equation:

5y - 4 = 3y

5y - 3y - 4 = 0

5y - 3y = 4

2y = 4

y = 2

now, substitute y for 2 in the original equation.

(3y - 13)/2 = x

(6 - 13)/2 = x

-7/2 = x

-3.5 = x
