Answer:

For x it is 54.5 or 305.5 and for y it is 58.4 or 301.6. Hope this helps.

I would get the protractor extension from the chrome web store it is free and easy to use.

assuming the picture isn’t to scale
X=61 because the two angles create a straight angle or 180° so you subtract 119 from that to find the measurement of the angle x
y=79 because the triangle in total is 180° and we know x=61 so now we do the equation and get 64. so we know 64 is that portion of the triangle so we then add the other angle we know the measurement of which is 37° to get 101 then with that you will subtract it from 180 (the total measurement of the triangle) and get 79°
hope this helps
