Question

what is the value of y?

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of adjacent angles

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to \(180^{\circ}\)).
Let the given angle be \(53^{\circ}\) and the angle \(y\). Then \(y + 53^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Solve for \(y\)

Subtract \(53^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation: \(y=180^{\circ}- 53^{\circ}\).

$$y = 127^{\circ}$$

Answer:

\(127\)
