L1 and L2 are parallel

so the interior alternate angles are equal

4y - 40 = 3y ( interior alternate angles)

4y - 40 = x + 15 ( vertically opposite angles).

solving the first equation, we get

4y - 3y = 40

y = 40°

putting values of y= 40° in eq. 2, we get

4y - 40= x + 15

4(40) - 40 = x + 15

160 -40 = x + 15

120 - 15 = x

105° = x

X = 105° , Y = 40°
