Answer:

y = 110°

x = 55°

Explanation:

The line is a transversal.

∠Y = 110°, according to the rule of transversals.

Also, 2X = Y, since in a transversal the vertical angles are equal.

Vertical angles are the ones that are at the intersection of the parallel line and the transversal.

So, 2X = Y = 110°

X = 55°

Hence, X = 55° and Y = 110°.
