Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 3x - y and 2x + y form a straight angle and are supplementary, so
3x - y + 2x + y = 180
5x = 180 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 36
-----------------------------------------------
5y and 3x - y are vertical angles and congruent, hence
5y = 3x - y ( add y to both sides )
6y = 3x ← substitute x = 36
6y = 3 × 36 = 108 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 18
