Because the two lines shown are parallel, the two angles are congruent.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Using the above, you can solve for x.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Then use this to solve for y.

I know now that x = 76... What about y?
 I'm not understanding what your wanting me to use to get it... I figured out that x was 76 because you said the two lines are parallel. I'm still confused a bit about y.

Nevermind. I figured it out. Y should equal 58.

mathstudent55 · Answer

You are correct. x = 76.
Now notice that the angle where x is plus the angle where y is plus 48 equals 180.

Correct. Great job!
