Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Find the value of yy.

    The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ. The interior angles are 80∘80^\circ, 60∘60^\circ, and yy.

    80∘+60∘+y=180∘80^\circ + 60^\circ + y = 180^\circ 140∘+y=180∘140^\circ + y = 180^\circ

    Subtract 140∘140^\circ from both sides:

    y=180∘−140∘y = 180^\circ - 140^\circ y=40∘y = 40^\circ

    The value of yy is \boxed{\text{40^\circ}}.

  2. Find the value of xx.

    The angle xx and the angle yy form a linear pair on a straight line. Angles on a straight line sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    x+y=180∘x + y = 180^\circ

    Substitute the value of y=40∘y = 40^\circ into the equation:

    x+40∘=180∘x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ

    Subtract 40∘40^\circ from both sides:

    x=180∘−40∘x = 180^\circ - 40^\circ x=140∘x = 140^\circ

    The value of xx is \boxed{\text{140^\circ}}.
