How do I solve this equation?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set 3x + 20 and 5x - 50 equal to each other
3x + 20 = 5x - 50
3x = 5x - 70
-2x = -70
x = 34
2. Once you've solved for x plug that in to 3x + 20 or 5x + 50
3(35)+ 20
105 + 20
125
3. After plugging in the x take that answer and subtract from 180 which will give you y
180 - 125 = y
55 = y
Answer
you can solve this equation by finding the value of x and y. here, the answer is x=35and y=55.
Step-by-step explanation:
here, we have,
i)3x+20=5x-50[being vertically opposite angle]
20+50=5x-3x
70=2x
70/2=x
thus,x=35.
ii) 3x+20+y=180[being straight angle]
3×35+20+y=180
125+y=180
y=180-125
thus, y=55
