Answer:

x = 54

y = 114

Explanation:

The angle marked y° corresponds to the one marked 114°. Corresponding angles in this geometry are congruent, so ...

y = 114

__

The angle marked (x+12)° and the one marked y° form a linear pair, so are supplementary:

(x +12)° +114° = 180°

x +126 = 180 . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

x = 54 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
