Set up an equation to find x, Explain why you used this equation

180= 38+(17x+1)+(3x+1), All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so I made all the add measures equal to 180 degrees.

Just solve that equation to find x. Then used then plug in the x value to (17x+1). After you solve that put it equal to 2y to solve for y.

So the y equation would look like: 2y=(17x+1) (but you would have solved for x and then plugged it in to the equation)

If you need help solving or have any questions let me know!
