Answer:

x = 65 degrees

Explanation:

Three angles are marked with their values: 55 and 60 degrees. Thus, the third interior angle of the left triangle (unmarked) is 180 degrees - (115) degrees = 65 degrees.

This 65 degree angle and x are vertical angles. Thus, x = 65 degrees. This plus y form a straight angle, so y = 180 degrees - 65 degrees = 115 degrees.

Answer:

x = 65

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180° for third angle

third angle = 180° - (60 + 55)° = 180° - 115° = 65°

65° and x are vertical angles and are congruent, thus

x = 65
