Here is the solution to .

:
The image shows three angles, $36.5^\circ$ , $y$ , and $50^\circ$ , that lie on a straight line. Angles on a straight line sum up to $180^\circ$ .

Set up the equation for the sum of the angles.
$36.5^\circ + y + 50^\circ = 180^\circ$
Combine the constant terms on the left side of the equation.
$86.5^\circ + y = 180^\circ$
Subtract $86.5^\circ$ from both sides of the equation to solve for $y$ .
$y = 180^\circ - 86.5^\circ$ $y = \boxed{\text{93.5}^\circ}$
