1. **Problem Q2:** Given that lines AB and CD are parallel, find the missing angle $y$.
2. **Formula and rules:** When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are equal, and the sum of angles on a straight line is $180^\circ$.
3. **Step 1:** Identify the angles on line AB: $65^\circ$ and $58^\circ$.
4. **Step 2:** Calculate the angle adjacent to $y$ on line CD using the straight line rule:
$$65^\circ + 58^\circ + y = 180^\circ$$
5. **Step 3:** Simplify the sum of known angles:
$$65 + 58 = 123$$
6. **Step 4:** Substitute and solve for $y$:
$$123 + y = 180$$
$$y = 180 - 123$$
$$y = 57^\circ$$
7. **Reason:** The angles on a straight line sum to $180^\circ$.

8. **Problem Q3:** Given lines ABC and DEFG are parallel, $BE = EF$, angle at $B$ is $38^\circ$, find $x$ and $y$.
9. **Formula and rules:** In an isosceles triangle (since $BE = EF$), the base angles are equal. Also, the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
10. **Step 1:** Triangle $BEF$ is isosceles with $BE = EF$, so angles at $E$ and $F$ are equal:
$$x = y$$
11. **Step 2:** The sum of angles in triangle $BEF$ is:
$$38^\circ + x + y = 180^\circ$$
12. **Step 3:** Substitute $x = y$:
$$38 + x + x = 180$$
$$38 + 2x = 180$$
13. **Step 4:** Solve for $x$:
$$2x = 180 - 38$$
$$2x = 142$$
$$x = 71^\circ$$
14. **Step 5:** Since $x = y$, then:
$$y = 71^\circ$$
15. **Reason:** Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal, and the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
**Final answers:**
- Q2: $y = 57^\circ$
- Q3: $x = 71^\circ$, $y = 71^\circ$
