Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P
1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
rule: a b/c = (ac+b)/c
2) make all fractions have a common denominator...
a/b+c/d
(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)
(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)
3)
The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...
Please excuse my sloppy writing but the answer is 30
First, set 2x+7 equal to 3x-7 since they are the same angle due to the parallel lines.
2x+7=3x-7
x=14
Then, since 2x+7 and 12y+1 equals 180, put it together to find y:
(2x+7)+(12y+1)=180
(2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180
12y+1=145
12y=144
y=12
So, x=14 and y=12. Your answer should be C!
