Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify angle relationships to find xx.

    Since line AB is parallel to line CD, the angle ∠FMA\angle FMA and the angle ∠MNE\angle MNE are corresponding angles. Therefore, they are equal.

    ∠MNE=∠FMA=5x\angle MNE = \angle FMA = 5x

    Angles ∠MNE\angle MNE and ∠CNE\angle CNE form a linear pair on the straight line CD. Their sum is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠MNE+∠CNE=180∘\angle MNE + \angle CNE = 180^\circ
  2. Substitute the given values and solve for xx.

    Substitute ∠MNE=5x\angle MNE = 5x and ∠CNE=x+78∘\angle CNE = x+78^\circ into the equation from Step 1:

    5x+(x+78∘)=180∘5x + (x+78^\circ) = 180^\circ 6x+78∘=180∘6x + 78^\circ = 180^\circ

    Subtract 78∘78^\circ from both sides:

    6x=180∘−78∘6x = 180^\circ - 78^\circ 6x=102∘6x = 102^\circ

    Divide by 6:

    x=102∘6x = \frac{102^\circ}{6} x=17∘x = 17^\circ
  3. Identify angle relationships to find yy.

    Since line AB is parallel to line CD, the angle ∠AMN\angle AMN and the angle ∠DNM\angle DNM are alternate interior angles. Therefore, they are equal.

    ∠AMN=∠DNM\angle AMN = \angle DNM

    Angles ∠CNE\angle CNE and ∠DNM\angle DNM are vertically opposite angles. Therefore, they are equal.

    ∠DNM=∠CNE=x+78∘\angle DNM = \angle CNE = x+78^\circ

    From these relationships, we can write:

    ∠AMN=x+78∘\angle AMN = x+78^\circ
  4. Substitute the value of xx and solve for yy.

    We are given ∠AMN=4x+y\angle AMN = 4x+y. Equate this to the expression from Step 3:

    4x+y=x+78∘4x+y = x+78^\circ

    Substitute the value of $
