Step-by-step explanation: A straight line is 180 degrees. The line with the two y degrees and the 35 degrees is a straight line, which is = 180 degrees. Because the y degrees are the same variable (y) they are equal degrees. All you need to do to find y is 180-35 =145. Divide that by 2 to find both y’s. 145 / 2 = 72.5. You can do the same for x, or realize that x and 35 are alternate interior angles, meaning they are the same measure: 35 degrees.
