a. 85
b. 105
c. 75
d. 125

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle relationship

$\angle 85^\circ$ and $x^\circ$ are corresponding angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines $\overleftrightarrow{DE}$ and $\overleftrightarrow{XY}$.

Step2: Apply corresponding angles postulate

Corresponding angles for parallel lines are congruent, so $x = 85$.

Answer:

A. 85
