Answer: Option A

Explanation:

So, we know that (y + x) + 2x = 180.

Then, because of the vertical angles theorem, 2x = y - x. So, we can substitute x for y: x = y/3.

Next, we go back to our first equation: (y + y/3) + 2(y/3) = 180.

Solving it, we get y = 90. So, y = 90 degrees, and x = 30 degrees. So, the answer is option A.
