Parallel lines

We know that if l and m are parallel there might be some angles that are equal to others:

Alternate interior angles

The angles closed by a blue circle are alternate interior angles, then they should be equal if l||m.

Vertcial angles

The angles closed by an orange circle are vertical angles, because they are opposite to each other on two crossed lines.

Now, we know two angles of the triangle of the middle:

We know that the addition of all the inner angles of a triangle is 180º. This is:

50º + 55º + xº = 180º

105º + xº = 180º

Now, we can find x:

105º + xº = 180º

xº = 180º - 105º

xº = 75º

Answer: xº = 75º
