Answer: 25°

Explanation:

So we know that the right angle equals 90°.

And we know that all the angles of a triangle have to add up to 180°.

Also angle x and the exterior angle that is 115° are supplementary, so they have to add up to 180°. So we have to subtract 180 - 115 = 65.

So our equation for y is:

y + 65 + 90 = 180

y + 155 = 180

y = 25

So y = 25°

Hope this helps!!! :)
