You should have found that x = 9 and y = 17. That leads to G = 73 and H = 98, both of what you got is correct.

Since the quadrilateral is inscribed in the circle, this means the opposite angles add to 180 degrees. So E+G = 180 leads to E+73 = 180 and it solves to E = 107 after subtracting 73 from both sides.

Similarly, F+H = 180 becomes F+98 = 180 which solves to F = 82
