Question 1127684: Solve for y.
y =
An equilateral triangle A B C. Side B C is the base. Sides A B, B C, and A C are equal. Sides A B, B C, and A C are labeled with single tick marks. Angle A is labeled as left parenthesis 5 y plus 10 right parenthesis degrees, and angle C is labeled as left parenthesis 6 x plus 6 right parenthesis degrees.

The measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees.

The problem tells you the measure of angle A is (5y+10) degrees.

Solve for y: 5y+10 = 60
