Answer:

x = 35°

Explanation:

We can apply rules about supplementary angles to find y. That horizontal line has a measure of 180°. Therefore, we know that:

180° = 56° + 51° + y

180° - 56° - 51° = y

73° = y

Since all interior angle of a triangle adds up to 180°, we know that x + y + 72° = 180°.

So:

x + 73° + 72° = 180°

x = 180° - 73° - 72°

x = 35°

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:

35 degrees

Explanation:

Almost all triangle angles add up to 180

56+51= 107

180-107 = 73

73+72=145

180-145=35
