Answer:

x = 25°

y = 65°

Explanation:

One angle is marked with the small square showing it is a right angle. Two pieces are x and 65°. These will add together to make 90°.

Use this idea to write an equation:

x + 65° = 90°

subtract 65 from both sides.

x = 90 - 65

x = 25°

x + y also add up to 90°.

x + y = 90°

25° + y = 90

subtract 25°

y = 65°
