Seeing the other comments, it might be worth a shot to repost this meme with your math homework thrown in for easy solutions.

Of course, I did the math too before looking.

Am I stupid or is one triangle unnecessary?

Nah, the imagery tricks you. 180 degrees to a line. 180 degrees inside a triangle.

So you can gather the inside unlabeled angle on the triangle on the left is only 80 degrees: (180-[60+40])

So you then know it's 100 on the right side of that +35 leaves you with 45 degrees left for the top of the right one.

180-45=. 135 degrees

Also if you add up all visible angles you get 135, so I'm sold on that alone. No no no, I won't hear any rebuttals.
