For this you need to know your angles in parallel lines. 3y will equal 87 as they are opposite angles and opposite angles are equal. So y = 87/3 We can use the knowledge that angles in a straight line (in parallel line diagrams) will add up to 180. Therefore we do 180-87= 93. Now we know 3x=93 because just like the first example they are opposite angles. Now we know x=93/3. (I didn’t have a calculator on me so you’ll have to work out the final result. Also I recommend looking into angles in parallel lines. I tried my best to explain so I hope you understand the jist of what I was trying to say.)
