You are correct with y. Angles y + 23 and 63 are vertical, so they are congruent. That gives you y + 23 = 63, which gives y = 40.
To find x, look at angles 2x - 17 and 63.
They are adjacent angles whose outside rays lie on a line. Angles like these are called a linear pair, and they are supplementary. That means their measures add up to 180 deg.
