Answer:

x = 35° , y = 85°

Explanation:

(2x+25) = (3x-10) // Reason: Vertical Angles are Congruent (have equal values)

Now we solve this...

2x+25 = 3x-10

25+10 = 3x-2x // Bring alike terms to one side

35 = 3x-2x

35 = x, so x = 35 °

-----

Now, to find y...

-----

We know that x is 35°, and we know that the two top angles in the picture are supplementary (meaning that they add up to 180°)

(2x+25) = 70 + 25 = 95

So 180° - 95° = y

y = 85°
