Answer:

x = 122°, y = 62°

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180 to find y

y = 180° - (60 + 58)° = 180° - 118° = 62°

x and 58° are adjacent angles and are supplementary, thus

x = 180° - 58° = 122°

Answer:

y = 62, x = 122

Explanation:

Every triangle's sum of interior angles = 180°.

60 + 58 + y = 180

118 + y = 180

y = 62

Supplementary angles are adjacent angles that make up a straight angle (180 degrees)

58 + x = 180

x = 122
