you do 180-120 and get 60 and then add 60 and 25 together and that is 85. then u do 180-85 and get 95

Answer:

y = 95°

x = 60°

Explanation:

The applicable theorem is the one that says the exterior angle (120°) is the sum of the remote interior angles:

120° = 25° +y

95° = y . . . . . . . . . . subtract 25° from both sides

_____

If you like, you can get there by calculating x (or not):

x = 180° -120°

y = 180° -25° -x = 180° -25° -(180° -120°)

y = 120° -25° . . . . . simplify — notice we didn't actually have to compute x
