Answer:

  • x = 65°
  • y = 105°

Explanation:

According to the picture, the angles with measure of 65° and x are included between two parallel pairs of lines.

It makes them equal:

  • x = 65°

y is the exterior angle of the triangle with two remote interior angles with measure of 40° and 65°.

As per definition of the exterior angle its measure is same as the sum of remote interior angles:

  • y = 65° + 40° = 105°
