Using the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, we know that the 67 degree angle is congruent with the (12x - 5) degree angle. With this information, all I have to do is set the two equal to each other and solve for x.
67 = 12x - 5
67 + 5 = 12x - 5 + 5
72/12 = 12x/12
6 = x
x = 6
SOLVE FOR Y:
Using the Vertical Angles theorem, we know that angle y must be congruent to the 67 degree angle.
