Answer:

Angle MBR = 31°

y = 14

Explanation:

There is a tiny red square in angle MBH that means it is a right angle. Right angles are 90°. So the 59° angle and the angle marked (y+17)° together make a 90° angle. That helps us write an equation.

59 + y + 17 = 90

add.

76 + y = 90

subtract 76.

y = 14

Then you can find Angle MBR:

y + 17

= 14 + 17

= 31

Alternatively, you could find MBR first and then find y. It comes out the same either way.
