can you please explain

Therefore, because the total degrees of a triangle is 180 degrees, (y + 10) + 40 + 77 = 180 y = 180 - 10 - 40 - 77 y = 53 degrees

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Now, as the degrees of a straight line also equals 180 degrees: (x - 1) + 40 + (y + 10) = 180 But, as we already know that y = 53, (x - 1) + 40 + (53 + 10) = 180

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

(x - 1) + 40 + (53 + 10) = 180 x - 1 + 40 + 53 + 10 = 180 x = 180 + 1 - 40 - 53 - 10 x = 78 degrees
