Step-by-step explanation:
∵ MP is a straight line.
∴ ∠MNQ + ∠PNQ = 180°
[tex](3y + 8)° + (3y + 22)° = 180° \\ 3y + 8 + 3y + 22 = 180 \\ 6y + 30 = 180 \\ 6y = 150 \\ y = 25[/tex]
∵ MP is a straight line.
∴ ∠MNR + ∠PNR = 180°
[tex](2x + 5)° + (3x - 55)° = 180° \\ 2x + 5 + 3x - 55 = 180 \\ 5x - 50 = 180 \\ 5x = 230 \\ x = 46[/tex]
