Answer:
is this correct. I hope it is
X + 60 = 100 (because they are vertical angles, which means that because they are directly opposite of each other, they are of the same measurements).
Solve for x. Isolate the x, subtract 60 from both sides
x + 60 = 100
x + 60 (-60) = 100 (-60)
x = 100 (-60)
x = 40
40° should be your answer

The solution is that x = 26 and y = 9.
In order to find these, we need to note that since the two angles involving x's make a straight line, then they must equal 180 degrees. So we can add them together and set them equal to solve for x.
5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180 ----> combine like terms
8x - 28 = 180 ----> add 28 to both sides
8x = 208 -----> divide by 8
x = 26
Now that we have the value of x, we can find the value of the 3x - 11 term. That along with the right angle and the 2y + 5 angle combine to make another straight line. So we can solve by setting that equal to 180 as well.
3x - 11 + 90 + 2y + 5 = 180 ------> Combine like terms
3x + 2y + 84 = 180 -----> Put 26 in for x.
3(26) + 2y + 84 = 180 -----> Multiply
78 + 2y + 84 = 180 ------> Combine like terms again
2y + 162 = 180 ------> Subtract 162 from both sides
2y = 18 -----> Divide by 2
y = 9
