Answer:

x = 10, y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Form a system of equations:

From the picture at the bottom you can see that vertical angles are equal, so:

[tex]3x + 2y = 70[/tex]

Then, since the angles all together will add up to 360, you can do

[tex]3x+2y+9x+y+70+9x+y=360[/tex]

[tex]21x+4y+70=360[/tex]

subtract 70 from both sides

[tex]21x + 4y = 290[/tex]

With the equation 3x + 2y = 70, multiply both sides by 2

[tex]6x+4y=140[/tex]

Subtract the two equations:

[tex]15x=150\\x=10[/tex]

Plug this into one of the original equations

[tex]30+2y=70\\2y = 40\\y=20[/tex]
