First part x

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º

41 + (4x -3) + 90 = 180º

4x -3 = 180º -41 -90

4x -3 = 49

4x = 49 + 3

x = 52 /4

x= 13

____________________

Second part y

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º

similarly,

y + 59º + 90º = 180º

y= 180º - 90º - 59º

y= 31º

Answer

x= 13

y= 31º
