Answer:
x = 16, y = 140
Step-by-step explanation:
(8x + 12)° and (3x - 8) are adjacent angles and are supplementary, sum to 180°
8x + 12 + 3x - 8 = 180
11x + 4 = 180 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
11x = 176 ( divide both sides by 11 )
x = 16
Then
8x + 12 = 8(16) + 12 = 128 + 12 = 140
(8x + 12) and y are alternate angles and are congruent , so
y = 140
