1. **State the problem:** We have a parallelogram with angles labeled as follows: top-right angle is $3x + 20$ degrees, bottom-left angle is $2y - 5$ degrees, and bottom-right angle is $x + 50$ degrees. We need to find the values of $x$ and $y$.
2. **Use the property of alternate interior angles:** Since the top-right angle $(3x + 20)^6$ and the bottom-right angle $(x + 50)^6$ are alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines, they are equal.
3. **Set up the equation for $x$:**
$$3x + 20 = x + 50$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$3x + 20 = x + 50$$
$$3x - \cancel{x} + 20 = \cancel{x} + 50$$
$$2x + 20 = 50$$
$$2x = 50 - 20$$
$$2x = 30$$
$$x = \frac{30}{2}$$
$$x = 15$$
5. **Use the property of consecutive angles in a parallelogram:** Consecutive angles are supplementary, so the top-right angle $(3x + 20)^6$ and bottom-left angle $(2y - 5)^6$ add up to 180 degrees.
6. **Set up the equation for $y$:**
$$ (3x + 20) + (2y - 5) = 180 $$
7. **Substitute $x=15$ into the equation:**
$$ (3(15) + 20) + (2y - 5) = 180 $$
$$ (45 + 20) + 2y - 5 = 180 $$
$$ 65 + 2y - 5 = 180 $$
$$ 60 + 2y = 180 $$
8. **Solve for $y$:**
$$ 2y = 180 - 60 $$
$$ 2y = 120 $$
$$ y = \frac{120}{2} $$
$$ y = 60 $$
**Final answers:**
$$x = 15, \quad y = 60$$
