We know that m ║ n.
Let's first find the value 'x'.
When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.
This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.
Equating them,
5x + 16 = 7x + 4
16 - 4 = 7x - 5x
12 = 2x
x = 12/2
x = 6°
Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.
5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.
7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.
Now let's find the value of 'y'.
If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.
This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.
Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:
(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°
Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.
(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°
y + 6 + 46° = 180
y + 52° = 180°
y = 180° - 52°
y = 128°
Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.

Distribute 3 throught the parentheses
Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
Collect like terms
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
