30 + 110 + 30 + 110 = 280

360-280 = 80

2y = 80

y = 40 degrees

If y is 40. Then the angle next to 30 is also y due to vertically opposite angles.

30 + 40 = 70

The line with 2 arrows is parallel to the line with x degrees. So, I use co-interior angles adds to 180.

In that c shaped, we got the bottom angle to be 70 & the top to be 110 because co-interior angles =180

Forget the c shape exists, and move onto the triangle that's visible. The top angle is 110 as found.

Angles in triangle add to 180.

180 - 110 - 30 = 40.

Thus, x = 40 degrees

There's a short cut I realise now because we can have alternate angles are equal; creating a z shape to find what x is equal to & that turns out to be the same value as y. ( due to vertically opposite angles)

Hope this helps!
