Step1: Recall same - side interior angles property
Same - side interior angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal are supplementary, so $(2x - 11)+(9x + 6.75)=180$.
Step2: Combine like terms
$2x+9x-11 + 6.75=180$, which simplifies to $11x-4.25 = 180$.
Step3: Isolate the variable term
Add 4.25 to both sides: $11x=180 + 4.25=184.25$.
Step4: Solve for x
Divide both sides by 11: $x=\frac{184.25}{11}=16.75$.
Step5: Find the measures of the angles
Substitute $x = 16.75$ into the angle expressions. The first angle is $2x-11=2\times16.75-11=33.5 - 11 = 22.5^{\circ}$, and the second angle is $9x + 6.75=9\times16.75+6.75=150.75+6.75 = 157.5^{\circ}$. The smaller angle is $22.5^{\circ}$.
Step1: Find the value of y
The angle adjacent to the $132^{\circ}$ angle is $180 - 132=48^{\circ}$. Since this angle and $y^{\circ}$ are vertical angles, $y = 48$.
Step2: Find the value of x
The $56^{\circ}$ angle and $x^{\circ}$ are related such that the sum of the angles in the triangle - like part formed by the parallel lines and transversal gives us the relationship. The third angle in the triangle - like part (with angles $56^{\circ}$ and $y = 48^{\circ}$) and $x^{\circ}$ are supplementary. First, find the third angle in the triangle: $180-(56 + 48)=76^{\circ}$. Then, since this angle and $x^{\circ}$ are supplementary, $x=76$.
By the definition of alternate interior angles, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are non - adjacent angles that lie between the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Angles 1 and 2 fit this description.

We assume that the angles are related by angle - properties of parallel lines and transversals. The $132^{\circ}$ angle and the angle adjacent to $y^{\circ}$ are supplementary (linear - pair).
