First find the value of the two vertical angles which have x in them.

Vertical angles are the same so you have:

4x = x +36

subtract 1x from each side:

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 36/3

x = 12

Now replace x with 12 to solve for the angles:

4x = 4(12) = 48 degrees.

All 4 angles need to equal 360 degrees, so now subtract 48 +48 from 360:

360 - 96 = 264

Y and the angle above it are vertical angles, so you can divide 264 by 2 to find y:

Y = 264 /2

Y = 132 degrees.
