sat prep find the value of x in each of the following exercises

Answer:
x=70
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the lines are parallel, we know angle y
60 and y are alternate interior angles and alternate interior angles are equal when the lines are parallel
y=60
The sum of the angles of the triangle are 180
x+y = 50 =180
x+60+50 =180
x+110 = 180
x = 180-110
x = 70
