There are 2 vertical angles 5y-48 and 3y+60.
set up a equation 5y-48 + 3y + 60 = 180
solve for y
y = 21
5(21) - 48 = 57
3(21) + 60 = 123 (obtuse angle)
I'm assuming the too angles are the supplementary angles:
5y-48 = 3y+60 group y terms and constant terms
2y = 108
y=54
Plug y into the two expressions. The angle greater than 90 is the answer.
