(5x - 17) + (3x - 11)= 180 [ Linear Pair ]
= 8x - 28= 180
= 8x= 208
= x = 208/8
= x = 26

3x-11
= 3*26 - 11
=67

Now, we have:
(2y+5)+90+(3x-11)=180 [Linear Pair]

Substituting (3x-11),
(2y+5) + 90 + 67= 180
= (2y+5)+157= 180
= 2y + 162= 180
= 2y= 18
=y = 18/2
=y= 9

Therefore, x= 26, and y= 9

$\text{Hello there! :]}$

$\large\boxed{125 \text { vases}}$

$\text{To solve, find the proportion of successes from the total:}\\\\20 / 25 = 4 / 5\\\\\text{Set up a proportion to find the # of vases necessary to complete 100 successfully:}\\\\\frac{20}{25} = \frac{100}{x} \\\\\text{Cross multiply to solve:}\\\\20 * x = 100 * 25\\\\20x = 2500\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 20:}\\\\x = 125 \text{ vases}$
