Solution
Given that x, y and 40° are the angles of a triangle.
∴ x + y + 40° = 180°
Since, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°
⇒ x + y = 140° ......(i)
Also, x – y = 30° ......(ii)
On adding (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 170°
⇒ x = 85°
On putting x = 85° in (i), we get
85° + y = 140°
⇒ y = 55°
Hence, the required values of x and y are 85° and 55°, respectively.
