Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ABD and CBD are congruent, so DA = DC:
3y +6 = 5y -18
24 = 2y . . . . . . . . add 18-3y; next, divide by 2
12 = y

<em>Additional comment</em>
In some variations of this question, you may be asked to solve for x. Since the angles are equal, you have ...
3x -1 = 34 -2x ⇒ 5x = 35 ⇒ x = 7 . . . (consistent with ∠ABC = 40°)
First distribute and then combine like terms, answer: -1.42x+2.8
Lets say x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number.
x + y = 436
x + 134 = y
We can substitute the second equation into the first (substitute x + 134 in for y)
x + (x+134) = 436
2x + 134 = 436
2x = 302
x = 151
We can now plug this back into either formula (i use the second)
151 + 134 = b
b = 285
The 2 numbers are 151 and 285
