Answer:

x = 36, y = 84

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180 for x

x = 180 - (96 + 48) = 180 - 144 = 36

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

y is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

y = 48 + 36 = 84
