1. **Stating the problem:** We have a parallelogram with angles labeled $y^\circ$, $3y^\circ$, and $3x^\circ$. We want to find the values of $x$ and $y$.
2. **Recall properties of parallelograms:** Opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$).
3. **Set up equations:** Since $y^\circ$ and $3y^\circ$ are adjacent angles, they must satisfy:
$$y + 3y = 180$$
which simplifies to:
$$4y = 180$$
4. **Solve for $y$:**
$$y = \frac{180}{4} = 45$$
5. **Use the other angle $3x^\circ$:** Since $3x^\circ$ is adjacent to $y^\circ$, they also sum to $180^\circ$:
$$y + 3x = 180$$
Substitute $y=45$:
$$45 + 3x = 180$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$3x = 180 - 45 = 135$$
$$x = \frac{135}{3} = 45$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$x = 45^\circ, \quad y = 45^\circ$$
