Problem

Lines GHGH and JKJK intersect at point PP. The measure of ∠GPJ\angle GPJ is (2y+10)∘(2y + 10)^\circ. The angle adjacent to it, ∠HPJ\angle HPJ, measures (3y−20)∘(3y - 20)^\circ. (i) Form an equation in yy using appropriate angle relationships and the given expressions. (ii) Solve the equation formed in part (i) to find the value of yy. (iii) Hence, calculate the measure of all four angles formed at point PP and state whether each is acute or obtuse, providing justification.
