Answer:
y° = 130°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angel adjacent to y° corresponds with the given measure of degree that the brace makes with the wire.
Thus, the measure of the angle adjacent to y° = 50° (Corresponding angles are congruent)
y° and the angle adjacent to y° form a linear pair on a straight line.
Therefore:
y° + 50° = 180° (linear pair)
subtract 50 from each side
y° + 50° - 50° = 180° - 50°
y° = 130°
