First part x
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º
41 + (4x -3) + 90 = 180º
4x -3 = 180º -41 -90
4x -3 = 49
4x = 49 + 3
x = 52 /4
x= 13
____________________
Second part y
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180º
similarly,
y + 59º + 90º = 180º
y= 180º - 90º - 59º
y= 31º

Answer
x= 13
y= 31º
