How do I find the answer to x and y?

First, the angles of triangle MNP add up to 180º. Since angle M is 142º and angle P is 24º, angle N must be (180-24-142)º or 14º.

Now angle N is congruent to angle U.

2x - 50 = 14

2x = 64

x = 32

Segment NP is congruent to segment US, so 13 = 2x - y AND x=32.

13 = 62 - y

y = 49

Let x be the amount of cement and y be the amount of sand. If the ratio of cement to sand for mortar is 1:3, then $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{3}$ and y=3x.

So, if Sandy puts in x=7 shovels of cement, then she puts $y=3\cdot 7=21$ shovels of sand.

Answer: 21 shovels of sand.
