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

x%2B135=180



x%2Bcross%28135-135%29=180-135Subtract 135 from both sides


x=45 Combine like terms on the right side



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

x%2By=180

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


45%2By=180 Plug in x=45




y=180-45Subtract 45 from both sides


y=135 Combine like terms on the right side

Answer:


So the values are

x=45 and y=135
