y=

Answer:
[tex]y =112[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Required
Find y
The attached triangle is isosceles; so:
[tex]x - 5=34[/tex]
Also, we have:
[tex]y + x - 5 + 34=180[/tex] --- angles in a triangle
Substitute: [tex]x - 5=34[/tex]
[tex]y + 34 + 34=180[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]y =- 34 - 34+180[/tex]
[tex]y =112[/tex]
