Answer

In △ ABC and △ ACD,
AB = AD (Given)
BC = CD (Given)
AC = AC (Common side)
Using SSS congruency criterion,
△ ABC ≅ △ ACD
By corresponding parts of congruent triangles,
∠BCA = ∠DCA
Hence, y + 10° = 2y - 25°
⇒ 2y - y = 25° + 10°
⇒ y = 35°
Similarly, by corresponding parts of congruent triangles,
∠BAC = ∠DAC
Hence, 3x - 10° = 2x + 5°
⇒ 3x - 2x = 5° + 10°
⇒ x = 15°
Hence, the value of x = 15° and y = 35°.
