The lst time I did geometry like this was 50 years ago, so I'm a bit vague about the names of geometrical proofs and theorems. I can only give you a hint about what to look for yourself.

 

You have a triangle with two angles, 23 and 48.

Let the third angle be T .

23 + 48 + T = 180   (sum of angles of a triangle add up to 180)

T = 109

x = T    (opposite angles ???)

x = 109

 

In the quadrilateral,

81 + z = 180     (because of the two parallel lines)

z = 99

 

Let the angle opposite to y be T2

T2 + x + z + 81 = 360     (sum of internal angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360)

T2 + 109 + 99 + 81 = 360

T2 + 289 = 360

T2 = 71

y = T2    (opposite angles   ???)

y = 71

The three angles are: x = 109, y = 71, z = 99
