Answer:

  • x = 9
  • y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to assume the the marked lines are parallel.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent, so ...

  (15x -26)° = (12x +1)°

  3x = 27 . . . . . . divide by °, add 26-12x

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . .divide by 3

Then the alternate exterior angles are ...

  (12·9 +1)° = 109°

___

The angle at upper right is vertical with the obtuse interior angle of the triangle whose other interior angles are marked. The sum of them is 180°, so we have ...

  28° +109° +(4y -9)° = 180°

  4y = 52 . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 128

  y = 13 . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the third interior angle of the triangle is ...

  (4·13 -9)° = 43°
