Answer

$y = 50^{\circ}$ $x = 130^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The diagram is that of an isosceles trapezoid. The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. If one base angle is $50^{\circ}$, then the other base angle, $y$, is also $50^{\circ}$. In an isosceles trapezoid, consecutive angles are supplementary, so we set up the equation with this information: $x = 180 - 50$ Subtract to solve: $x = 130^{\circ}$
