Solve for y

Equilateral triangles have all equal sides and angles.

180 deg is in one triangle and divide it among the 3 sides and you get 60 deg.

 

So,

5y+10=60

y=10

This is an equilateral triangle because all the sides are the same. The angle measures are 60.

\(5y+10=60, 5y=50, y=10\) so y is 10 degrees.

Notice we didn't even use x.

 

You are very welcome!
