Answer:

x = 18. y = 54

Explanation:

first we we figure out the degrees of the spot where N is.

(I know N references the line but ill be using it to call the spot)

72 + N = 90

subtract 72 from both sides

N = 18

So since opposite angles are the same

2x + N = 3x

2x + 18 = 3x

subtract 2x from both sides

18 = 1x

divide by 1 both sides

18 = x

______

now we add all the angles from the left sides to make 180

2x + N + 72 + y = 180

we know x is equal to 18 and N is also 18

2(18) + 18 + 72 + y = 180

simplify

36 + 18 + 72 + y = 180

add

126 + y = 180

subtract both sides by 126

y = 54
