Find the value of x and y.

The image features a triangle with annotated angles. The triangle has three interior angles, each labeled with expressions:

1. The bottom left angle is labeled as \(68^\circ\).
2. The top angle, adjacent to the first, is expressed as \((3x - 15)^\circ\).
3. The right angle is expressed as \(2x^\circ\).
4. The exterior angle, adjacent to \(2x^\circ\), is labeled \((y^2)^\circ\).

The triangle is arranged in such a way that the angles' expressions need to be solved according to the triangle angle sum theorem, ensuring that the sum of the interior angles equals \(180^\circ\).

The image shows a triangle with labeled angles. 

- The angle on the left is labeled \(68^\circ\).
- The angle at the top is labeled \((3x - 15)^\circ\).
- The angle on the right is labeled \((y^2)^\circ\).

The triangle appears to be split into a smaller right triangle, adding the following:

- An angle along the base labeled \(2x^\circ\).
