the triangle given has angles:

46 degrees,

x

y

we are to find x and y

one thing we must kniw is thta the triangle is an isosceles triangle and angle on the same plane of an isosceles triangles are equal

so bearing the above statement in mind:

x = 46 degrees

recall that the some of angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees

so,

46 + x + y = 180

since x = 46

46 + 46 + y = 180

92 + y = 180

subtracting 92 from both sides

92 + y - 92 = 180 - 92

y = 88 degrees

Therefore,

x = 46 degrees

y = 88 degrees
