Explanation:
Hey, there!!
Look this figure, simply we find that;
In triangle ABC,
angle CBD is an exterior angle of a triangle.
and its measure is 90°
Then,
angle CBD= y +48° {sum of interior opposite angle is equal to exterior angle or from theorem}.
or, 90°= y + 48°
Shifting, 48° in left side,
90°-48°= y
Therefore, the value of y is 42°.
Hope it helps...
