1. Problem Description

In triangle MNCMNC, MNC=64MNC = 64^\circ. AA is a point inside the triangle such that AM=ACAM = AC, AMN=42AMN = 42^\circ, ACN=26ACN = 26^\circ, AMC=xAMC = x^\circ and CAM=yCAM = y^\circ. We want to find the values of xx and yy.

2. Solution Steps

First, find the angle NMCNMC. We are given that AMN=42AMN = 42^\circ. Since NMC=42NMC = 42^\circ and MNC=64MNC = 64^\circ, we can find the angle MCNMCN.
In triangle MNCMNC, we have NMC+MNC+MCN=180NMC + MNC + MCN = 180^\circ.
So, 42+64+MCN=18042^\circ + 64^\circ + MCN = 180^\circ.
MCN=1804264=180106=74MCN = 180^\circ - 42^\circ - 64^\circ = 180^\circ - 106^\circ = 74^\circ.
Since ACN=26ACN = 26^\circ, we have MCA=MCNACN=7426=48MCA = MCN - ACN = 74^\circ - 26^\circ = 48^\circ.
In triangle AMCAMC, AM=ACAM = AC. This implies that triangle AMCAMC is an isosceles triangle.
Hence, AMC=ACMAMC = ACM. So x=48x^\circ = 48^\circ. Thus x=48x = 48.
The sum of angles in triangle AMCAMC is 180180^\circ, so AMC+ACM+CAM=180AMC + ACM + CAM = 180^\circ.
48+48+y=18048^\circ + 48^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ.
96+y=18096^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ.
y=18096=84y = 180 - 96 = 84.
Therefore, x=48x = 48 and y=84y = 84.

3. Final Answer

x=48x = 48
y=84y = 84
