Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
From the FIQURE of the question, we can see that line "e" is parallel to line "f" then we can say (2x + 18)=( 4x - 14)
Then we can collect like terms
2x-4x= -14-18
-2x=-32
The negatives cancelled out we have
x = 16
From the question, At the intersection of lines b and f, the top right angle is (4 x minus 14) degrees
Angle on a straight line is 180° then we can calculate "y" as
y = 180 - (4x - 14)
= 180-4x+14
= 180+14-4x
But x= 16, then substitute we have
= 180 +14 - 14(16)
= 130
Hence, the value of y is 130
