Help wanted can someone help me and give me a short understanding of this

Y = 104°
z = 24

Angle y° and (5z - 44)° are linear pairs, meaning that the two measures together will add up to 180°.
To solve for z, know that (5z - 44)° and 76° are vertical angles, meaning that both angles are the same.
So simply set them equal to each other to find z:
5z - 44 = 76
5z = 76 + 44
5z = 120
z = 24

Now to solve for y, remember that since (5z - 44)° and 76° are vertical angles, they are the same, meaning you can denote (5z - 44)° as simply 76°. Like I said earlier, y and 76° are a linear pair so simply subtract 76 from 180 to find y:
180 - 76 = 104°
