Answer:
<h2>x = 60°, y = 50°</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
We know: the angles measures in a triangle add up to 180°.
<em>(look at the picture)</em>
z + 50 + 60 = 180
z + 110 = 180 <em>subtract 110 from both sides</em>
z = 70°
x + 50 + 70 = 180
x + 120 = 180 <em>subtract 120 from both sides</em>
x = 60°
Angles x, y and z are on one side of a straight line. Therefore they add to 180°.
x + y + z = 180
60 + y + 70 = 180
y + 130 = 180 <em>subtract 130 from both sides</em>
y = 50°
