Answer:

  y = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. So, ...

  25° +30° +x = 180°

And, you know a linear pair of angles totals 180°:

  x + y = 180°

Substituting for 180°, we have ...

  25° +30° +x = x + y

Subtracting x from both sides, we get a relation that is useful to remember:

  25° +30° = y

  y = 55°

_____

This relation is usually described as ...

  An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.
