Answer:

∠y° = ∠69°

∠x = ∠69°

Explanation:

1) The question relates to parallel line theorem

The given parameters are;

AB is parallel to CD

∠111° and ∠y° are consecutive interior angles

∠69° and ∠x° are alternate interior angles

When two parallel lines are crossed by a common transversal, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary (sum up to 180°), and the alternate interior angles are equal

Therefore, we have;

∠111° + ∠y° = 180°

∠y° = 180° - ∠111° = ∠69°

∠y° = ∠69°

2) For the alternate interior angles, ∠69° and ∠x°, we have;

Alternate angles are equal, therefore ∠x = ∠69°
