The bars of a xylophone are parallel and the stand that holds the bars together are transversals, as shown. Image posted m=measure.

Which statement is correct about angles x and y?
m angle x = m angle y.
m angle x = 2(m angle y)
m angle x + m angle y =180 degrees.
m angle x + m angle y =90 degrees.
