The measurement of angle x is 52° and y is 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define supplementary and complementary angles first.

Supplementary angles is pair of angles whose sum is 180°

While complementary angles sum up to 90°

Given

That x and y are complementary and x is supplementary to 128.

This means that sum of x and 128 is 180°

So,

$x+128 = 180\\x = 180-128\\x = 52$

So,

x = 52°

It is also given that x and y are complementary which means that

$x+y = 90\\52+y = 90\\y = 90-52\\y = 38$

Hence,

The measurement of angle x is 52° and y is 38°
