Answer 2

Sides AC and CB are identical, which mean the two bottom angles are also identical.

Angle B (2x) would equal 50.

The three inside angles of a triangle equal 180, so the top angle would equal 180 - 50-50 = 80.

Now set the equation for angle C to equal 80 and solve for Y.

5y+10 = 80

Subtract 10 from each side:

5y = 70

Divide both sides by 5:

y = 70/5

y = 14
