Step-by-step solution

Due to the fact that the lines are parallel, we will begin by drawing a further imaginary parallel line that crosses the 110 angle.

The angle adjacent to the angle 105 is equal to 75 (a straight angle is equal to 180 degrees) This angle is alternate with the angle that was divided using the imaginary line, therefore it is also equal to 75.

In the picture we are shown that the whole angle is equal to 110. Considering that we found only a part of it, we will indicate the second part of the angle as X since it alternates and is equal to the existing X angle.

Therefore we can say that:

75+x=100 75+x=100

x=11075=35 x=110-75=35
