X=

Answer 1

x = 43°

Explanation:

• 
  `\sf{Y + 47° = 90° }`

Substract 47° from both sides

• 
  `\sf{Y + 47° - 47° = 90° - 47°}`
• 
  `\sf{Y = 43°}`

since X and y are vertically opposite angles

• 
  `\sf{x = 43°}`

Answer 2

Explanation:

y + 47° = 90° {Complementary angles}

y = 90° - 47°

y = 43°

x = y {Vertically opposite angles}

x = 43°
