35 and x are linear pairs and 35 and y are corresponding angles.
x=145
y=35
Let's start with finding x. We see that x and 35 form a linear pair. Therefore, by the Linear Pair Postulate, we know that these angles are supplementary. This means they add up to 180. 35+ x=180 ⇔ x=145 To find the measure of y, we use the fact that 35 and y are corresponding angles. Since the lines that are cut by the transversal are parallel, by the Corresponding Angles Theorem, we know they are congruent. y=35
