### Parallel Lines and Transversal Problem

**Problem Statement:**
Given \( m \parallel n \), find the values of \( x \) and \( y \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram consists of two parallel lines \( m \) and \( n \) intersected by a transversal. The angles formed are labeled with algebraic expressions:

- An angle on line \( m \) is labeled as \( (8x - 17)^\circ \).
- A corresponding angle on the transversal but on line \( n \) is labeled as \( (3x + 10)^\circ \).
- An alternate interior angle on line \( m \) is labeled as \( (6y + 11)^\circ \).

Since the lines are parallel, we can use the properties of corresponding angles and alternate interior angles to deduce equations to solve for \( x \) and \( y \).

**Task:**
Find the value of:

\[ x = \text{[input box]} \]
\[ y = \text{[input box]} \]

**Solution Strategy:**
1. **Using Corresponding Angles:**
   Since \( (8x - 17)^\circ \) and \( (3x + 10)^\circ \) are corresponding angles:
   \[ 8x - 17 = 3x + 10 \]

2. **Using Alternate Interior Angles:**
   Since \( (8x - 17)^\circ \) and \( (6y + 11)^\circ \) are alternate interior angles:
   \[ 8x - 17 = 6y + 11 \]

**Interactive Input:**
Students are required to input the correct values of \( x \) and \( y \) in the corresponding boxes and submit their answers.

**Submit Area:**
A button labeled "Submit Answer" allows students to submit their calculated values. Each student has 2 attempts to solve the problem correctly.

Attempt 1 out of 2.

**Note:**
Ensure to verify and simplify the equations properly to isolate and compute the values of \( x \) and \( y \). Use equivalent angle properties accurately, aligning with geometric proofs and logic.
