Answer:

X = 125° and Y = 75°

Explanation:

Y = 75° because the line the bisects two parallel lines. When this happens, the angles at the corners are identical.

To find the value of "X", I first found the value of the last angle in the triangle. I found this by performing the following:

180° - 55° - 75° = 55°

The value of this missing angle is 55°. To find "X", I subtracted this value from 180°. I did this because lines always equal 180°

180° - 55° = 125°
