Pls help with this angle question

little bronze
#

angles on straight line sum to 180

#

so you have the two interior triangle angles

#

therefore have third as sum to 180

#

then i think its corresponding angles to find the other angle around x

#

then just do 360 minus those two numbers

tranquil jacinth
#

180 - 137 = 43

#

bc angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees

#

so thats the angle on the right inside the triangle

#

vertically opposite angles are equal so the angle to the left of that is 65 degrees

#

to work out the top angle we can do: 180 - 65 - 43 = 72

#

180 - 65 = 115, because angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees

#

co-interior angles add up to 180 degrees

#

so we can do 180 - 115 to get 65 degrees

#

so x is 360 - 72 - 65

#

which is 223 degrees
