Answer:

x=12 and y=31

Step-by-step explanation:

First, ( 5x - 7 ) and ( 3x + 17 ) are alternate interior angles, which means they are congruent, or equal:

5x - 7 = 3x + 17

Add 7 to each side:

5x = 3x + 24

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x = 24

Divide each side by 2:

x = 12

Now we can see that ( 5x - 7 ) and ( 4y + 3 ) are supplementary angles, which means they will add up to 180 degrees:

5x - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

Substitute 12 in for x to solve for y:

5 ( 12 ) - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

60 - 7 + 4y + 3 = 180

combine like terms:

( 60 + ( -7 ) + 3 ) + 4y = 180

56 + 4y = 180

Subtract 56 from each side:

4y = 124

Divide each side by 4:

y = 31
