1. **State the problem:**
We have a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle with interior angles at vertices A, B, C, and D given as $26y^\circ$, $3x^\circ$, $2x^\circ$, and $21y^\circ$ respectively.
2. **Recall the property of cyclic quadrilaterals:**
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.
Also, opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to $180^\circ$.
3. **Set up equations using opposite angles:**
Angle A and angle C are opposite, so:
$$26y + 2x = 180$$
Angle B and angle D are opposite, so:
$$3x + 21y = 180$$
4. **Solve the system of equations:**
From the first equation:
$$26y = 180 - 2x$$
From the second equation:
$$3x + 21y = 180$$
Substitute $y$ from the first into the second:
$$y = \frac{180 - 2x}{26}$$
So,
$$3x + 21 \times \frac{180 - 2x}{26} = 180$$
Multiply both sides by 26 to clear denominator:
$$26 \times 3x + 21(180 - 2x) = 26 \times 180$$
$$78x + 3780 - 42x = 4680$$
Simplify:
$$36x + 3780 = 4680$$
$$36x = 4680 - 3780$$
$$36x = 900$$
$$x = \frac{900}{36} = 25$$
5. **Find $y$:**
$$26y = 180 - 2(25) = 180 - 50 = 130$$
$$y = \frac{130}{26} = 5$$
6. **Calculate each interior angle:**
$$\angle A = 26y = 26 \times 5 = 130^\circ$$
$$\angle B = 3x = 3 \times 25 = 75^\circ$$
$$\angle C = 2x = 2 \times 25 = 50^\circ$$
$$\angle D = 21y = 21 \times 5 = 105^\circ$$
7. **Check sum:**
$$130 + 75 + 50 + 105 = 360^\circ$$
**Final answer:**
$x = 25$, $y = 5$, and the interior angles are $130^\circ$, $75^\circ$, $50^\circ$, and $105^\circ$ respectively.
