Answer:

x=67, y=67

Explanation:

All sides in triangle equal 180. First we subtract to find the rest of triangle: 180-46=134. 134 is the total of x and y. Because we have 2 amounts we need to find we can divide: 134/2. This results in 67.

We know this is true because the sides are equal as well, hinting that x and y are both equal to each other. Also, 67+67+46=180 confirming the answer.
