Answer: x=72, y=26


Step-by-step explanation:

Since a line is 180°, we can do:

2x+10+y=180

2x+y=170

Since a triangle is 180° also, we can do:

x+y+82=180

x+y=98

If we subtract x+y=98 from 2x+y=170, we get:

2x+y=170

x+y=98

x=72

If we insert x=72 into x+y=98, we get:

72+y=98

y=26

We can check our answer by inserting x=72 and y=26 into x+y+82=180

72+26+82=180

98+82=180

180=180
