Step-by-step explanation: 2y-5 and 95 are vertical angles and vertical angles are always congruent (equal). So, 2y - 5 = 95. 2y = 100. y = 50. Solving for x is slightly more difficult. 3x and 144 are linear pairs and linear pairs are adjacent and equal 180° because a straight line is 180°. So 3x + 144 = 180. 3x = 36. x = 12.
