Answer 1

x= 35 is correct :)
now since those 2 angles are equal,
2x = 3x+y
put x= 35 here to find y

Answer 2

@hartnn isn't y negative?

Answer 3

yes, absolutely, you get 'y' from that you will surely get it as negative :)

Answer 4

2x = 3x+y
subtract 2x from both sides, what u get ?

Answer 5

y = -70 @hartnn

Answer 6

no...

Answer 7

2x = 3x +y
so,
2x-2x = 3x-2x +y
so,
0=x+y
and x = 35
so,
0 =35+y
so, y= 035

got this ?

Answer 8

but isn't that just the same as x? @hartnn

Answer 9

yeah y is -35

Answer 10

oops, i mistyped it
0=35 +y
gives y=-35 , yes :)

Answer 11

any more doubts ?
