What is x and y
The image contains a problem involving triangle geometry, written calculations, and a diagram:

1. **Triangle Diagram**: 
   - There are two right triangles drawn side by side.
   - The first triangle has one angle labeled as \(50^\circ\) and another as \(40^\circ\), with the third angle marked with a square indicating it's a right angle (\(90^\circ\)).
   - The second triangle also has one angle labeled as \(40^\circ\) and another marked as \(\textcolor{green}{x}\), with a calculated result showing \(x = 50^\circ\), therefore also making the third angle \(90^\circ\).

2. **Equation and Calculation**:
   - Above the triangles is the expression \((2x + 10)^\circ\).
   - Arithmetic calculations are shown:
     - \(2x + 10 = 40\)
     - \(2x = 30\)
     - \(x = 15\)

3. **Conclusions**: 
   - The equations result in values:
     - \(x = 50\)
     - \(\textcolor{green}{y = 90}\)

This exercise involves solving for unknown angles in triangles using angle sum properties and basic algebra.
