Answer:

x = 13

y = 55

Explanation:

5x and 115 are linear pair angles. Sum of linear pair angles is 180.

So,

5x + 115 = 180

5x = 180 - 115

5x = 65

x = 65 / 5

x = 13

45 and 5x are interior angles of a triangle. Its opposite exterior angle is 2y.

Opposite exterior angle = Sum of two interior angles in a triangle.

So,

45 + 5x = 2y

Substitute the value of x in " 45 + 5x = 2y ",

45 + 5 ( 13 ) = 2y

45 + 65 = 2y

110 = 2y

y = 110 / 2

y = 55
