Maths question on algebraic equations = due in 10 minutes

Answer:
108 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 16 = 3x - 12 (corresponding angles; AB parallel to CD).
16 + 12 = 3x - 2x
x = 28.
So the angle marked 3x - 12 = 3(28) - 12
= 72 degrees.
Angle y is adjacent to the angle so
y = 180 - 72
= 108 degrees.
