6x - 48 = 4x (Corresponding angles)
x = 24
4x + y = 180 implies 96 + y = 180 or y = 84
Therefore, x + y = 24 + 84 = 108

The correct answer is [spoiler](C)[/spoiler].

I feel drawing a quick figure of the info given in the question, sometimes helps in visualizing what is being asked.

I meant to ask how do you make pictures possibly displayed here, what are the basic steps to design our mind out here?

Just go step by step, here the question mentions of 2 parallel lines and transversal, draw the same and then label the corresponding angles (you can take any pair of corresponding angles). Then label the linear pair and find for required variable. Does that answer your question?

No, it doesn't...I am asking where do you draw pictures in, like on MS Word Document or elsewhere? I always struggle to show my stuff pictorially, which forces me to translate few "easy with picture" type of questions to some "complicated words" type of questions.

Please help if you got me now

There are options of drawing lines and writing text in paint. You can try your hand at it, you can use the option of help.
