Notice how angle x and 135 degrees form a 180 degree angle. So this means that

Subtract 135 from both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Also, notice how angle x and angle y also form a 180 degree angle. So

But we know what x is, so plug in the value of x

Plug in

Subtract 45 from both sides

Combine like terms on the right side
