Answer X=14, Y=55
See diagram
To find X, I know the angles will equal 180
110 + 5x = 180
Subtract 110 from both sides to isolate X
5x = 70, solve for X, divide both sides by 5
X = 14
Do the same for Y
We know the triangle will equal 180
So (5x) is (5x14= 70) and the other angle is 40.
180-40-70 = 70 for the unknown angle in the triangle.
We know the angles in the Y part of the question will equal 180 so
70 + 2y = 180, subtract 70 from both sides to isolate Y
2y = 110, now solve for Y by dividing both sides by 2
Y = 55
