Answer: x = 17

y = 102 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel. From the information given,

opposite side of x is 17. Thus,

x = 17

Also, the sum of the consecutive angles are in a parallelogram is 180 degrees. 78 and y are consecutive angles. This means that

78 + y = 180

y = 180 - 78

y = 102 degrees
