Find the value of y and x in the figure

First, find the interior angle missing:

180-135=45

Then, we know all the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180º. So, we add all the values for the interior angles and we equate them to 180. We solve the equation normally.

45+(4z+9)+(5y+5)=180\\45+4z+9+5y+5=180\\59+4z+5y=180\\4z+5y=180-59\\4z+5y=121

After that, we must add the two angles on a straight line on the right-hand side and equate them to 180.

(4z+9)+(9y-2)=180\\4z+9+9y-2=180\\7+4z+9y=180\\4z+9y=180-7\\4z+9y=173

We compare the equations:

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173

We simultaneously solve by isolating one of the variables (y) in one of the equations (4z+5y=121) and substituting into the other (4z+9y=173):

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173\\\\4z+5y=121 => 4z=121-5y\\\\4z+9y=173\\(121-5y)+9y=173\\121-5y+9y=173\\121+4y=173\\4y = 173-121\\4y=52\\y=52/4\\y=13

We substitute it back into the first formula, the one in which we isolated the variable (4z+5y=121):

y=13\\\\4z+5y=121\\4z+5(13)=121\\4z+65=121\\4z=121-65\\4z=56\\z=56/4\\z=14

We now check our answer using the formula we know about the internal angles of a triangle (a+b+c=180):

a+b+c=180\\a=45,b=(5y+5),c=(4z+9),y=13,z=14\\45+(5y+5)+(4z+9)=180\\45+5(13)+5+4(14)+9=180\\45+65+5+56+9=180\\180=180

Now, if 180=180, then we are correct!

So, in conclusion, y=13 and z = 14.
