Answer: x=72, y=26
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a line is 180°, we can do:
2x+10+y=180
2x+y=170
Since a triangle is 180° also, we can do:
x+y+82=180
x+y=98
If we subtract x+y=98 from 2x+y=170, we get:
2x+y=170
x+y=98
x=72
If we insert x=72 into x+y=98, we get:
72+y=98
y=26
We can check our answer by inserting x=72 and y=26 into x+y+82=180
72+26+82=180
98+82=180
180=180
