Since the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, we can find the measure of angle y by subtracting the sum of the bottom left and bottom right angle from 180 degrees:
180 - 35 - 40 = y
180 - 75 = y
y = 105 degrees
Now, since the angles in a triangle also follow the rule that the sum of the angles opposite two sides of a triangle is equal to the third angle, we can find x by subtracting the measure of angle y from 180 degrees:
180 - 105 = x
x = 75 degrees
Therefore, x = 75 degrees.
Find x in the figure. (1 point)
