I need help with this question. Can someone please help me with it. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Okay, 72 degrees is equal to (5x-98), so
72=5x-98
5x=170
x=34

So now that we know that x=34, we can put 34 into (5x-98), so 170-98
170-98 and y are supplementary, so they add up to 180 degrees. So the equation is 
170-98+y=180
72+y=180
y=180-72
y=108
