An isosceles triangle has two angles of the same measure (see figure). If the angle represented by y measures 60° more than the angle x, find the measures of all angles of the triangle. (Recall that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°.) [Figure is not necessarily drawn to scale.]
A) 37°; 37°; 97°
B) 35°; 35°; 110°
C) 45°; 45°; 90°
D) 40°; 40°; 100°
