Answer:

  • x = 30°
  • y = 20°

Explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • the sum of the arcs of a circle is 360°
  • an inscribed angle subtends an arc twice its measure

These give rise to two equations. (x and y are in degrees)

6y +6y +4x = 360

6y = 2(2x)

Substituting the latter into the former gives ...

6y +6y +6y = 360

y = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

Then using this in the second equation, we have ...

6(20) = 4x

30 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The measures of x and y are 30° and 20°, respectively.
