Answer:

x = 20

y = 19

Explanation:

(2x - 3)° + (3x - 7)° = 90° (complementary angles)

(2x - 3 + 3x - 7)° = 90°

(5x - 10)° = 90°

5x - 10 = 90

5x = 90 + 10

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

2y - 1 = 2x - 3 ( vertical angles)

2y = 2x - 3 + 1

2y = 2x - 2

2y = 2*20 - 2 (plug x = 20)

2y = 40 - 2

2y = 38

y = 38/2

y = 19
