We see that the angles EDF and ABC are equal so y=48.
Angle DEF and angle ACB both equal 108.
180-108-48=24
2x-y=24
y=48
2x-48=24
2x=72
x=36 degrees

angle y = angle ABC = 48 degrees
:
angle DEF = angle BCA = 108 degrees
:
180 - 48 - 108 = 24
:
2x - 48 = 24
:
2x = 72
:
x = 36
:
***********************************
x is 36 degrees and y is 48 degrees
