Answer:

x = 17.5 and y = 35

Explanation:

2x + 10 = y + 10 ( alternate angles )

subtract 10 from both sides

2x = y ⇒ 6x = 3y → (1)

the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

6x + y + 10 + 30 = 180 ( replace 6x by 3y )

3y + y + 40 = 180

4y + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

4y = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 35

substitute y = 35 into (1)

2x = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 17.5
