Answer:

x = 10, y = 15

Explanation:

(8x - 10) and 7x are alternate angles and congruent, thus

8x - 10 = 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )

x - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 10

--------------------------------------------

Then 7x = 7 × 10 = 70

(6y + 20) and 7x are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

6y + 20 + 70 = 180 , that is

6y + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

6y = 90 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = 15
