Question

Triangle A B C is shown with an angle bisector and two congruent sides. Side A B is congruent to Side A C. Segment A D is the bisector of angle A. Point D is on side B C. Angle B A D is labeled y degrees. Angle B D A is labeled x degrees. Angle A C D is labeled 47 degrees.
Find the values of x and y.

NOT multiple answers PLZZZ help thank you

ABC is isosceles ... ∠B = ∠C = 47º AD is perpendicular to BC ... so x is 90º y + 47º + 90º = 180º
