Question

solve for x and y
(note- just type in the number, not the degree symbol)

x = box, y = box

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate angle x

The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
$x = 180^\circ - 85^\circ - 23^\circ = 72$

Step2: Calculate angle y

Angles x and y are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$).
$y = 180^\circ - x = 180^\circ - 72^\circ = 108$

Answer:

$x = 72$, $y = 108$
